How to put an aluminum gas cap and where to buy?
I was thinking about getting an aluminum gas cap for my fd3s but I don't have much info on where to buy it or how to put on. Any of you guys know the web site to buy one and how you install it???

You meant a motorcycle gas cap? Just get one from a motorcycle shop. You have to get a body shop to install it. They have to bondo and repaint that area. Most of the cars (civics and accords) that i have seen do this.....the bondo always starts to shrink or chip.

Sparco makes a flip lid too in aluminum or black and funnels. Make sure it comes with the unleaded nozzle restrictor or you will fall a smog check, BTDT.

I have the Sparco racing gas cap
The cap itself is a bit smaller than the stock cap because my car is getting a paint job and bodywork it is also a good time to put it on. It is alot of custom work to put it on and the guy at the bodyshop have to custom some metal pieces to hook it up to the gas tank. The end result was good and the gas cap looks like factory and it is also have that polish look.

enjoy. These things look damn good on the upper side of the wheel well bend thingamajig, like on the Type 15th.
I saw a ricer that had a taillight that folded out with the gascap inside. Was pimptastical
I think it was on autobuzz, maybe on hot import nights but im thinking auto buzz. I'll get it later if I can find the pic again

I like the way those gas caps look pretty good on 7's. The hardest part is the actual sizing for the new mar glass or bondo that has to be installed to incorporate the new cap. Good luck.
