buying a gas cap?

I sat my gas cap on top of the car and drove off. I need to get a new one; I might as well get something cool. Does anyone know where I can get a aftermarket name brand gas cap? any suggestions?

u guys are wrong, when I put in my pimpin' mugen oil cap on my ride, it added a whopping 10 hp!!!
With a pimpin' gas cap, I bet he'd get at least 15 hp gain.

Just let the guy get a damn gas cap! You know most of the guys that have done anything to their car here have done aesthetic stuff... rims bigger than 15", carbon fiber anything, oil cap, seats, engine dress up, even intakes dont do anything on our cars... the pimpin' gas cap is just one more thing you dont have on your car. Ok, well I gotta pee.

99% of the cf gas doors are just stock doors with cf overlay. What does that mean? no reduction, infact its weight addition.

I lost my gas cap like 3-5 times.

i should have learn by the 3rd time to install that gas cap holder, but I figured its a waste of money (like buying 4 gas cap is not a waste of money)

I think I'll make the gas cap holder with super glue and paper clips. lol.

on another note, just buy a $5 gas cap... or if you want, something with a key on it.. or something that works even better and closes tightly and prevents vapor-lost well...

*shrug*

spending lots o money on something you can't see is hardly smart.

a lot of times people have this idea of "I'm going to buy it, might as well buy something 'cool' (aka expensive)"

keep that mentality up, and you wont have money left to buy gas to pour

a gas cap is a gas cap. the only way it would be noticable is if u drive around with no gas door

Only buy it from ebay if it guarantees you 30rwhp as soon as you put it on.

actually it doesnt add weight, doesnt reduce it either, cf weighs no more than layers of primer, paint and clear.

lol i like that one. OK i'm ridin around with a $3 gas cap from advance auto parts. Now is everyone happy? And yes, a carbon fiber gas door is still rice because it's not even carbon fiber, and anyone who would purchase something like that might as well put a "fast and the furious" emblem across thier front windshield.
