the description for the gmade XD shocks is that they come with aluminum caps, but i'm cutting mine off a parts tree so clearly they are not. i'm just wondering if they just send plastic caps now and they just never changed the decription on the site or what the deal is? anyone else ordering these caps and upset they are getting plastic caps?

Are you talking about the Piggy Back XD shocks?

If so, yeah, they appear to be plastic. The description Amain has is slightly different...

Ahh.....ok, here is the link for that part number on Amain:

if you zoom in on the picture (click it), it looks like there are aluminum shock caps. Perhaps you got the wrong part number from whoever you ordered them from...
