Put some plastic trim around it so the thermometer pokes up nice and even through the hood. It's your car and everything, man, but...

I think that'd be cool. Walk up to the card and see the engine temperature. Personal choice, I guess. For me, it's just numbers: I'd never cut a hole in a hood, which would cost much much more than that neat radiator cap to replace, just to use the neat radiator cap. But to each their own!

Hood clears it no problem.

Hood clears it no problem. everyone is concerned about physical size -- what about the release pressure? Is the pressure compatible with the Geo?

Mine's a 96. No idea if it'll fit. For some reason I thought Shinrin's car was similar year to mine. Ah, well. Anybody with a 95+ gets one, let me know if they fit?

Will see tomorrow if it leaks or anything but appears to be ok.

Only concern was the snugness to get it on, but considering I only have my old cap to compare to, that might be how it's supposed to go on. I now know I have a 195 Tstat.
