I've seen the sparco cap at pac mall.... but it was pretty expensive. Something like almost $300 including the funnel. I'd try some wreckers....

The locking fuel caps run about $170 before taxes and the funnel about $35. The non locking is cheaper but only available in brushed aluminum, about $120 before taxes.

couple questions.... do the locking ones come with 2 keys or 1 ?? and what do you mean by funnel ?? do i need to use the funnel to put gas in everytime i fill up with tank ?? like i am unsure if normal gas pumps can fit in the gas cap or do i need to use the funnel your talking about ?? or is the funnel part of it that the body shop uses when they install it ?? thanks again and one last question well actually 2.... do you have these in stock or do you have to order them ?? and where abouts are you located like where can i meet you ??

thanks

the funnel is the part that goes under the cap that connects the old opening to the new one...its not a ghetto *** funnel that you have to take out and hold in the gas cap...and last I saw I do believe the cap does say sparco on it, how else would people know that you is coo like that?
