Title: UPR 1994-2004 mustang billet gas lid
Post by: 347Thunder on April 06, 2010, 02:37:02 PM
So I paid $30. for it so let me have it, I like the look but I think it is a little small for the opening. What do you guys think?

I actually like that better than mine.I think the slightly smaller circumference makes it "fit" better.I like the black as well.

I had mine painted to match the car.When it was on my blue Thunderbird,it looked like a big silver spot on the side and looked wrong to me,so,the paint......

did you space it out from the car to make it flush?

Kind of.I used some black rubber gasket material and I carefully made a nice round factory appearing gasket to place it between the lid and the body.I didn't want metal to metal. It was about the thickness of a quarter.

very nice going to do that now, if you have some time could you measure your lid and the opening I wonder if mine is bigger.:shakeass:

The gas lid area on your car is the same as mine.My lid is bigger.
Title: UPR 1994-2004 mustang billet gas lid
Post by: vinnietbird on April 06, 2010, 05:42:51 PM
It looks like the lid is 6 3/16" wide,and the gas lid area (the body opening for the lid) is 6 9/16" wide.

I agree. It looks kinda small, but still looks pretty good. I was thinking about doing the same at some point... if ever. I think a full car pic will help me make a better judgement.

I say keep it as it is.It looks great.It looks like it belongs there.It's not too small.Don't convince yourself that it is.

Hey guy's, does anyone have pics with the lid open...does this replace the stock lid or just affix to it?:dunno: By the way, they both look good.:D
Title: UPR 1994-2004 mustang billet gas lid
Post by: mtgmike on April 13, 2010, 04:36:36 PM
Both look great. The red car looks good because it still has some black trim. The green one is more of a monochrome look anyways so it works that way.

I think,as I stated,the black one looks great,and fits well.The small gap between it and the outer edge of the fender looks "right".

Post by: Whiteboy on April 13, 2010, 09:38:39 PM
hmmmm. I really like these, is there anything u had to do with the fender or something, or is it just pop it in and it fits?
Title: UPR 1994-2004 mustang billet gas lid
Post by: vinnietbird on April 13, 2010, 10:25:27 PM
Mine needed mild massaging in a couple of areas of the fender,but not too bad.I could still put it back to stock and I don't think anyone would really notice the difference unless you knew what you were looking for.

I had to drill 2 small holes but the look was worth it

hah i might just look into this, but the looks of my car go before performance right now... except the rims....
Title: UPR 1994-2004 mustang billet gas lid
Post by: vinnietbird on April 15, 2010, 09:09:01 AM
I was oppisite.I wanted the car to perform before the looks.
