Default Gas tank lid mod??

Has anyone seen a replacement gas tank lid for the 350z. I think something that matches the door handles might look good but havent seen anything around....what do you guys think, and have you seen anything??

yeah, i think that one of those racing gas tank covers would look pretty sweet. something like the one on the bullit mustang... sorry, but i havent come across any covers yet.

that is one of the good things about mustangs, the aftermarket is soooo huge and so competitive that almost anything you can think of, there is a part on the market somewhere..... at a reasonable price.

give the z a few years and the aftermarket will have all kinds of stuff.

30,000 a year vs 200000 a year. their market will always be larger, particularly in stuff like this that fits all models.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a new gas tank lid, look at how complex the contour is at that point of the fender. That would be tough to get something aftermarket to fit that in an acceptable way.

the most you can do is probobly remove it...and wrap it in CF or something of that nature

i say just leave it

there are better ways to spend money (not that im one to talk)
