Default Gas lid thread or nah??

My gas lid was loose and eventually broke off. So for the last couple days I been riding without one. Was wondering if some people had done anything different besides painting it the same color as the body.

Try to find one from another junk yard SC, Paint won't match but it'll be better than not having one.

Too bad, one of the users here on Clublexus just sold a blue gas door. Was scratched, but wasn't broken!

if it was a beater or like a drifter with a few dents i'd say go without the lid. but overall the car is pretty clean so I think you should try and source a new lid.

i love the color! what is it?!? RSP? I bet it tastes like blueberries. black 2tone interior too?! get a lid yesterday.

^ don't do that.

I literally just got mine today and put it on. Waited a while to find a matching color, and it was worth it not having to paint...

even if you get a matching RSP lid new or used the match wont be perfect because of fading and oxidation. you can get a couple things of RSP touch up paint in a hvlp gun but the lid will look all new compared to the faded paint of the car. ehh. really not that noticeable unless you're ocd or a perfectionist

CF sounds pretty cool too tho if you get a cf visor and stuff to match the lid haha.

so uhh is this RSP btw?
