    Question Gas cap

    I think the 3gee gas cap is pretty ugly. You guys know any other gas caps that would fit?

    are you talking about one of those billet ones? Uh, IMO those are uglier than anything else... Yea iceman, the gas cap looks lout of place with your neato lookin body panels. Aftermarket gas caps are ricy...

    You won't be able to use one of the threaded ratcheting types on these cars. Actually, Ihave thought it would be pretty cool to get a new one - I don't know why. Maybe that "attention to detail" thing, or maybe my anal retentive nature. I'm just amazed I have not lost mine in 16 years. Since ours are not "tethered" like the newer ones I put it on top of the gas pump while I fuel up. Haven't left it behind yet.

    The aftermarket ones I have seen are even uglier than the OEM one.

    To use the threaded ratchet caps, you would have to change the filler neck. If I ever need to replace mine, I'll try and see if another one works.
