Vacuum Caps

I saw some Vinyl caps today at Autozone. Has anyone tried those?

They just look pretty on the engine.

Seriously, I shoot some RTV into the fitting before slipping the cap on.
This is what keeps the fitting from leaking.
The cap is there just to remind me nothing is supposed to go on it.
If I ever want to reuse the fitting again, using a proper sized drill bit will clear out the RTV, and viola...

I don't like the rubber vacuum caps cause they look butt ugly. :P

As in, Ace Hardware or something?

And aren't you afraid the RTV will get sucked into the engine or something?
