The German fans would say it screams "TT".

That would be quite unique, but would require a ton of bodywork! I say go for it!

I never [and will never] understand why some people want to bring attention upon their gas doors.

It would cost exactly $109.13 and it would require 3 screwdrivers, a 12mm socket, 4 apples and some WD-40.

Since our gas tank filler door isn't flat, and it curves over the top of the fender, I really can't see where you could install it without "massive" amounts of body work.
I'm with "msheredy", gas filler doors should be hidden behind license plates.

Oh no. IMO, stay away from the blingy gas caps.
Ours is so nice, it is almost hidden and flows nicely with the lines.

The aviator gas caps that I work with are based on 1940s technology and are painted red. For that really different look try a real aviator gas cap.

yes and no.

might be okay if you anodise it the same colour as your car.

but then again it might stand out like dogs *****.

photoshop it for a definitive answer.
