Default Metal Gas Tank Lids?

Well, my oem lid is kind of messed up as in sticking out too much and I was just looking into my options. Where would you find metal gas tank lids?(not the sticker kind-tried search). Or how to fix the one I have. Thanks.

a bodyshop could probably fix your messed up stock one.

Uh, stock one is already metal.

If you're talking about a motorcycle cap, it requires EXTENSIVE body work. My friend did it with a genuine Honda CBR cap in the side of his Civic coupe, and he regretted it. If the body work is done well, it might be alright, but his was not, and it made the car very hard to sell.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by jz &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">yeah your stock lid is metal. but what do you mean it sticks out to much? post a pic. like does it stick out further from the quarter as in its not flush with it? if so they're adjustable. theres two 10mm bolts, just loosen them and adjust until you get it flush. dont pay someone to do it, its easy.</TD></TR></TABLE>

hmm, now that i think of it, i think mine is a bit off.

i'll have to adjust it one of these days
