Gas cap mod
 
So do you think aftermarket will have a black gas cap instead of the stock body colored one?

Rattle can black.

The whole idea of a body colored fuel cap is to have it disappear into the visual body line. Since it is located in such a prominent place It should blend in and not standout like a black hole in the side.

Will wait to see what market brings
 
Many muscle cars have had non body color gas caps, Challengers, Camaro’s and Mustangs to name a few.

I will admit that particular picture does not look good.

Looks like poo

Have you seen the gas cap in person, it's tiny

faninc 12-29-2019 08:34 PM

Open minds... just a thought if someone makes
 
Perhaps not but time will tell...

What do muscle cars have to do with Corvette?

faninc 12-29-2019 09:02 PM

Open minds...
 
Just to open minds... not all cars have body color gas gaps. Muscle cars and exotics can have non body color caps for contrast.

Just because other cars have it, doesn't mean it looks good. Both examples that were posted looked awful, and as cmonkey said it should blend in. Our Mitsubishi Outlander has an "appearance package" which consists of lower body aero components, a larger rear spoiler & an ugly metallic colored fuel door. The vehicle is Silver metallic so it doesn't stand out that much, but still looks stupid having a different colored square on the side of the vehicle. If I drove that vehicle more I'd probably swap out the fuel door for a body-colored one, but it's my wife's work & our family road trip vehicle, so I'm not in it much.

But don't worry someone will replaced the body-colored fuel door with a chrome version and add a chrome strip along the edge of the scoop - I'd bet money on it :yesnod:

Looks awful.

Works on the challenger and Bugatti but I’m not sure it works on the C8. To each their own though!

brAnd7onX 12-30-2019 12:36 AM

That bugatti looks horrible. Half the car is chrome lol.

I’m sure Manny, Moe and Jack will have one available soon.
