That seems like a good price. I use the radiator barn ones for clunkers and summitt racing for aluminum ones.

Maybe you can find someone selling their old OEM one for cheap, unless you want to upgrade to a full metal and or aluminum.

I've read a lot of bad reviews on Mishimotos and their faulty radiator caps. A quick note on the company that some may not know: Mishimoto may have a Japanese name, but it's a Chinese company making subpar parts. Even though it's working fine now, it may not be very soon.

you can EASILY get one for under 100 at a local auto parts store.

they dont fix plastic radiators so just buy a new one.
