I made it myself. Bought a Harley Davidson gas cap on eBay and "dismantled" it, then used a dremmel tool to cut out a little of the factory cap so it would sink into it a little. Then taped off the new "channel" for the skull and painted the cap flat black with flat clear. JB welded the skull on and done.

I just got my rear medallion back from the painter today. I had him shoot the chrome with high gloss black paint and leave the GT alone. I think it will look pretty good with my stripes.

I primed both mine and Dez's with a grey etching primer for plastics and metals. I first used a green 3M scratchpad, followed by a small, fine wire wheel on the dremmel, then 800 grit sandpaper to rough up the chrome and give the primer/paint, an nice roughened surface to bond to.

Here's mine.... Heated the back to loosen up the glue on the center and popped it out. Soaked it in bleach for a week to remove the chrome then painted it.

I found these on ebay. Would have to cut an inch off the bottom of the punisher, but the other one is 3 in all around and would fit perfectly. Thoughts????

Hey I have been following this thread too, I am excited about the possibilities of changing the faux gas cap center, that looks pretty easy. I am wanting to go with a GT 300 theme, side stripes, gas cap and steering wheel center. But has anyone got any ideas on the steering wheel centers yet? The mustang tribar on the GT is raised so a straight stick on overlay would not work unless you do some sanding smoothing to make the surface flat. I was wondering if heat or such would help loosen the glue on it too? As stated the center cap has the air bag under it so care must be taken. But there has to be some way to remove it. Maybe drill through it and inject some achohal or such to soften the glue?
