Lemans style gas cap

Re: ;emans style gas cap
A big outtie gas cap on a car with lots of attention to exterior drag? Seems completely counter intuitive to me. Needless complication that clashes with the rest of the car, but do you.

Re: Lemans style gas cap
I don't think they work well on thirdgens since there is no chrome on these cars. Maybe if it were body color? Still not picturing it though...

Re: Lemans style gas cap
They look cool ..... but on the back of a C2 maybe C3 Corvette
Not on a Third gen.

if you want something different put a gas cover from a Mustang on there.

Re: Lemans style gas cap
The mustang cover looks a lot like the sport bike gas cap, minus the lock, but the flush look is more fitting for the f-body. 2¢
