    i seen them on ebay a few times here lately. i think they look great as well, just out of my price range right now.... but they're still alot cheaper than a good LDO/Grabber gas cap

    o_O there was a guy at the Ohio swap meet that had one (also the front grill emblem) he said a friend of his made them :16suspect
    He was asking (If I remember right) $125 for the gas cap and $75-100 for the grill emblem.
    Very nice piece, but way to pricie for me...considering the "fancy one" I have now cost me $60 NOS.

    What's wrong with it being a "functioning gas cap" instead of just a cover? :confused: Just curious.

    I'd consider getting one if I needed a gas cap. I think it looks nice.

    I posted awhaile ago that I bought one off of ebay. I bought it from that guys ebay store for $45 plus shipping. The piece is nice. But as said in the previous posts about it, it sticks out kinda far from the body. It don't have the cup to the back of it like the original ones so you can see the filler neck bolts behind it. Also when it is on the car it isn't straight, I'd say about 30 degrees off. I am going to have to take it apart and drill new holes in the back part of it and re-attach it to the billet. One of the other guys who bought one says his lined up. I guess looking back at it now it wasn't suck a good deal. I would have rather put the money towards a nice LDO cap, would have been more than $20 more but would have been worth it.
