Smoked gas flap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #74717 12 posts Started by HectortheRican
I'm trying to decide if I want to get vincent's smoked gas lid for my Celica, it'd be great if you guys could post pictures of your smoked gas lid so I can get an idea of how it'd look. And if your Celica is black, that's extra points since mine is too lol

I'll grab a picture of mine if I remember tomorrow. Mine's black.
well only picture i could find, but it gets the point across, i would go snap a pic but she is in the shop getting a new clutch put in

1996 Toyota Celica Project Mean Green3RD Gen 3SGTE WRC Edition W/LSD E153 - Love BOOST <32001 Solar yellow Lexus IS3002001 Dodge ram 1500 Off-road edition
Get it
You get a new gas cap without the key
Which to me is another plus
To the fact it will add some sexy to the celi
My camera's charging, I'll get on this tomorrow.
I know it looks great with lighter colored cars, I love contrast. I was just iffy for the black on black. So Espo, you'll be the deciding point to whether I get one or not!

Thanks man! But I don't think I'll get one. Not really my cup of tea I guess. If I ever paint my car a lighter color, I'll probably get one

If you don't like it, modify it - I liked mine, but silver doesn't flow with my car:







I'll also be finding a spot to drill a hole and mount a red 360` LED for awesome light-up ability.
Espo!! That gave me a complete 180! I didn't think of painting the cap! What kind of paint did you use?

I used Testor's transparent candy apple red paint. Any sort of Testor's will work, I only used two coats. Pick whatever color you like and have at it. Easy $5 modification lol.

Glad you like it! Means I did a good job too lol - and plus since the window's smoked, I'm sure I'll find some way to light it up like I mentioned.
Do have to say that red looks great in there. I was thinking about running the trd cap, but wow, red is nice!
