    Looks nice, but since I only look at mine approximately every 450 miles I'll save my money.

    Looks great! How much did that run you?

    Does it fit over the existing fuel cap, or is it a complete replacement?

    I agree that it looks awesome, but it's just a little too expensive to be covered. Definitely something I'd buy though.

    If it's just a decorative cover, I don't see the point? Perhaps it's the engineer in me, but I never understood window dressing accessories, such as carbon fiber contact paper, chrome exhaust tips, and wheel spinners. On the other hand, whatever floats your boat.

    It's OK I guess.....but I'll save the 50 bones for something else.
    I only open my fuel door when I'm putting gas in the car......and that only happens every 600 miles or so.

    Good Luck with the mods!

    But come on people. It's a gas cap. I don't care how pretty it is. That is definently the type of upgrade I could pass on....

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Or get a metal fuel door like below.

    Actually this is a very expensive decal and it costs about twice as much as the gas cap :)
