GTNPU...I agree with you 100%. Jay...count me in if it can be done! I really like the one from Germany providing it matches the Z door handles & w/remote switch.
Just to give you guys some idea of pricing...Mitsubishi Eclipse gas cap is $139.95 it has a beautiful brushed finish...In the pic you can't see the brushed finish very good....I know, the gas cap is too large because it's not a remote.

We had this flaw cap one painted to match the door handles of our show car.

We will post pics of it installed.

We have two other Corba Gas Caps on order for our customers.

Heres a link to our store if anyone wants to purchase one.

I exchanged emails with Paul earlier this week and it looks like the cap will finally arrive next week at his shop.

Good. Anyone get the feeling these caps are handmade one at a time as they are ordered? I think I could fab one in this amount of time.

This is ridiculous!

If a US retailer is going to sell these things, they should stock some. Having a customer wait this long is insulting.

Adrnin1... Did you have to pay for this in full before it was ordered for you?

I was going to get one of these if you found it satisfactory... but nearly four months wait... I don't know.

I did pay for it up front, but Paul offered to refund my money over a month ago if I wanted. I still haven't seen a viable alternative, so I am still waiting.

The "authorized" US vendor says on it's site to order by Nov 1 for mid-December delivery. Hmmm. They are featuring 10% off and free shipping, $251.99. BTW, did anyone find out if those mirror covers are shiny or aluminum color like in the picture?

As soon as I receive my refund from Paul, I will be ordering one from the link above... I waited over four months at this point, another couple won't hurt and this one will actually cost me less.

Thanks for the Post!!

I just ordered one of the aluminum gas tank covers and the fender element for the side panel from spoilers for less. He said once they get enough orders they will order it. The company is located in germany and it takes a while plus they will only send it when enough products have been purchased in order to fill a crate(basically they have a minimum order-from what I understand). They told me it should be here in dec.
