How does the weight of e.g. fancy chromed metal valve caps vs the standard plastic affect the valve stem?

AND, will these serve as a replacement for the factory placement and interface with the factory computer.
Why should they, if you've already got a built-in TPS? The point is, the sensors and transmitters are all pretty much the same, and dirt cheap - or maybe I should say silicon cheap, 'cause they're integrated circuits, and if you can build one, the incremental cost for turning out millions isn't much. So if someone is quoting you hundreds of dollars for replacement, either they're talking labor, or pulling the old "charge way over the market for OEM parts" scam.
