Nice job that LAaddms did modding that style cap to his Vette. But I have always thought those caps just sit up to high and just look like an add on.

When I start the work on they rear of my car I am planning on installing a Mopar fuel door on mine. Not the fake one the new cars come with but the oem style the old chargers came with. I just think the flush fit style of that cap looks better. My 2 cents.

I am not sure. But I am confident that I can make it work and look like it came that way. Its just one more mod that I have always planned for my first Vette.

This is one from the UK, yes its different, and more cosmetic than functional.
Didn't really like the bigger ones.

Im sure someone could install the same cap I did without the bodywork. If you make that mounting ring I made out of fiberglass, out of aluminum, and use the original cap mounting ring, it could be done
