Challenger flip gas cap
« on: January 29, 2009 - 04:13:40 PM »
Ok who makes one without the swirl marks near the hidge area? Everyone I looked at has these marks?? Bad Tooling? Who's fits the best? Original quarters on the car.
Also what else do I need for this swap/upgrade? I'd assume a different gas cap?
Thanks Brad

Brad,

  That outer edge is supposed to be brushed aluminum like in the picture bullitt99 posted. Mine is that way.

You'll need a different gas cap, and the flip-top cap you buy should also have the trim ring for it.
