Default My Solution to the Methanol Tank Cap. Yay or Nay

My brother has a trophy and awards business so I had him make me a few of these in different colors. I think I like this one the best. They are made out of plastic that is normally used for name badges. It's actually laser cut. What do ya think?

First of all, it looks great!
Second, I believe the cap needs to be vented for proper operation of the system.....

ya, I know. If you remember, there's raised lettering and a washer picture on the cap. Since this goes over that, there's an air gap anyway. I could put a hole in it too.. maybe under the word "Methanol". Thanks

Todd looks great! He should be able to something like this with that logo as well w/anodized Caps.



Yes it needs the vent hole...I learned that the hard way.

Thanks. That looks pretty good Jim. I can actually put any pic I want on it. It's laser cut from TIFF files. I thought I'd get a Jake somewhere on my ride!

I think there's plenty of venting from under the piece. Maybe I should take it on a WOT run for several miles and test it

I have a couple extras if anyone wants one. I made a couple different colors. $15 shipped. You glue it on to your cap... just don't cover the cap hole with glue.
PM me.

Well I hate to be the Nay vote... but it looks ghetto...Its like slapping a bumper sticker on the rear fascia, but for people that like stickers on things I guess its passable.

I wouldn't exactly call that sticker bling on a Vette.
IMHO any stickers on a Vette distracts from its fine lines and looks.
