Cool
I guess they don't look too bad on the "chick" f-bodies, like either in a Pewter color, or any color T/A.

The only way I'd do it is if it was painted like this one. This is Blown_TA's car

No, but I would think you could probably put a cylinder key lock on it without too much modification. I've never really had a need for one but sure it could be done.

parbreak - very sweet car! great attention to detail!

others - this cover also looks great when leading to a genuine fuel cell, unless you really need a quick-break set up!

Thanks for the pictuers 1QuickWS6. I was attempting to use the factory one. Makes more sense now. If I can get my T56 stabbed today, then the bird will be flying tomorrow.

The plastic overfill catch supplied by the aluminum lid is completely different. I can see how to modify the existing one now.
