thats not a sticker on the gas door he now has a aftermarket gas door. or maybe he stole a motorcycle's and filled it in on there but its not a sticker. i think it looks good although i woulda had it painted black to match car

Dude...that blacked out chrome trim is SO CHEEZY and OVERRATED. GET RID OF IT PLEAZZZZZZE. (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Like this original hood better than the SRT-10 hood. Glad you went with that suggestion. G/L with selling it and make sure it goes away from NorCal. Don't want any other GSes here with the blacked out trim.

You guys missed the joke. I was teasing Dee (I know him well) because I have the blacked out chrome trim too.

An older pic of my car...
