Quick one....how is this thing attached????
it looks like it has 4 screws....but i thought I remembered someone buying a used vette with a similar gas cap once and finding out that it was permanantly glued to the body panel. I like the car, but if this zit on the beautiful body of this car cant be easily replaced with a stock fuel cover, it aint worth it.

Try the Breathless website.. Ernie makes em..
I think it clamps around the neck of the filler tube..I am pretty sure it's reversable...

It would actually look pretty cool if there were not a fuel door cut out on the fender.. that looks like a rube goldberg job...
