Someone here put them on the side molding between the front wheel well and the door. I thought that looked pretty good.

I put it in between the wheel well and the door. I like it. It gives it a fast look to it. All the sports cars have it there like the M3, etc....

Yes you should put this on the gas door right next to or above the 92 OCTANCE sticker you can get at any gas station.



please do not do this!

Ah, the classic chrome gas cap...makes me wonder, has anyone ever chromed the whole car? I would love to see that...of course the person who does that porbably has a chrome 'grille' and I'm not talking about his car either.

No offense, but it looks just thrown on. The placement is wierd. I like it on the side molding up front.

I can't even believed you looked into the the windshield washer lights. HAHA!!! Your to funny. My opinion don't start adding sh*t to the outside of your car. Everyone will see it and make fun of you. If you do anything do it to the inside.
