This is what it looks like after covering the chrome with carbon fiber.

you can order it from these guys but its quite expensive. I heard it is very good quality though. Shame they don't do it in brushed alu or a satin finish to match the door handles. remember to hit the english version banner on the website.

on some cars though it does look good but not on the Z. just looks wierd and out of place

COBRA makes these lids. I believe they are located in Germany as stated above.

You can still use your fuel door release button. Its actually a very good design.

The only problem I had with it was the chrome, not really into the bling.

I had mine custom made to match the door handles, it looks amazing. Never had any bad comments made about it always positive so I wouldn't listen to all the haters, they prob. have not seen one in person.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised that evo-r hasn't picked up on this??? I bet there'd be a lot of takers.

joekool · 10-12-2007, 06:19 AM

Thank you, I get a lot of complements on it, to me it looks like a "beauty mark" ala Cindy Crawford etc. Ha ha.

Mine looks something like this Varis one, don't know if it was a "one off" or if they actually sold or sell it.

joekool · 10-12-2007, 10:56 AM

they do sell it... I see a keyhole there, do you need a key to open it?

Looks like you do, I think they adapted a generic locking cover to fit the Z, defeating the interior lock feature. That is why I used a Cobra cap to wrap, it works with the stock interior release. I could have purchased a "billet" sparco cap and bent it to fit our opening, but the same problem, it would be a step backwards IMHO.

joekool · 10-12-2007, 04:02 PM

so with the cobra you need new cap?? can't use stock??

No, the Cobra completely replaces the stock gas cover (the outer cover) and functions exactly the same as the stock one, i.e., you use the interior release button to open it. To my knowledge, the Varis one does not use the stock interior release button, that is why the key lock. Both use the stock inner gas cap (the one that you unscrew to put the gas filler nozzle in. If I am wrong on the Varis, someone please correct me. I hope I straightened this out, sorry for not being clear.

joekool · 10-12-2007, 04:38 PM

ahh yep, I was talking about the inner gas cap.. glad you don't need to replace that (to make it fit or whateva)...

terrywyser · 10-13-2007, 12:09 AM

How did you manage to get it to match the door handles? Must have been a ***** because of the chrome?

dave079 · 10-13-2007, 12:11 AM
