I've got a red C-5 like yours, I too looked at it, but decided no, those look pretty good on a silver car but a little too much on red I think, but on the other hand, if you like it get it, (oh I just notice you do have a siliver car!)

I see you started a new thread on the other cap. Here are some quick pics of mine (taken with my phone):





Personally, I LOVE it!! Some don't like it. Fine by me. The cheapest I found anywhere online was around $275. I got mine used.
Good luck!

Better than the first one you posted. Why don't you just buy one and be done with it?

My personal opinion - it draws your eyes right to the gas cap door. Just my .02 worth.
