stock cap will suffice. if you want a "billet look" just polish your cap.

getting a billet cap would cause your coolant system to over pressurize. Unless you put a billet cap over the top of a stock cap... that would look gay, though.

Polish stock cap. Or just accept that it's dirty and it works, so keep driving it.

just but a new MAZDA cap and polish it. it will not have pits from previous rust and it will look pretty good.
