I not only like the look of this mod but adds simplicity to gas fill ups the only negative from my perspective is now gas entry is not protected?

so any one have measurements and close up pics? I am assuming that it is more than just a hole. also probably a ring is welded on hood so as to give a relief even added seal? I think Patrick motorsports has pics in their gallery?

I like the under-hood fill. It gets tons of looks as first, people wonder why you're going under the hood then are surprised to see a trunk, and second, people wonder why you're putting gasoline in your trunk.

Except for racing, it's just "different". That's fine for me.

GA, still missing the old "flip the license plate down to fill" trick...
