Is the "Fuel" logo removable so that you could place some type of Corvette emblem in it's place?

New Gas cap/Door idea-
I was looking for something different-
Like the look of the Lemans style- but wanted something a little more sleek looking-
Here's what I found- It's dang close to a perfect fit- just now held in place with Dum Dum. But looks like the Dodge mounting cup will work with out much trimming.
The gas door used on 2008-current Challengers.
I went with the Chrome version- and I'm happy with the $60 it cost for a brand new take off of a 2018 Challenger -
Plus I don't think my car has any Mopar parts on it- and didn't' want to leave them out!!!
Thoughts? Flame me?

Thanks-
Yes- I would like to fill the divet but car is already painted...
The "Fuel" logo-
I already hit it with a heat gun and turned it 90 degrees...That way you can be at the back of the car and know where to put the gas!!!
Come on- guys-you know I have a plan for the cap!!!
I found a company that makes custom fuel door inserts- machine your own artwork and then anodize it-
They make a lot of neat stuff- https://www.custombilletstore.net/Ch...t_p/200585.htm
Here's a sampling-

I like the look. No problem with the "Fuel" logo, but I'm sure you'll change it.
Have you thought about taking the next logical step and adapting the mopar no-cap filler neck?

This is a beautiful idea! I like the "V12" emblem, but for me it would HAVE to be the skull & cross bones.
It would reflect the piracy of everything you`ve done to this car so far. But then again, I`m a pirate.
