Well if you went to the site you can plainly see the other cap is used like a piggy bank.
That's too funny.

I also saw the alloy doors used on Chevy pickup trucks and other large vehicles. I feel they're great on certain colored cars, but never on trucks. I'm still on the fence about getting one for my Stang.

Yeah, the headlamp piggy bank is too funny. Every time he goes over a bump or stops suddenly, the coins may jump around and destroy his headlamp capsule!

These "alloy" fuel doors have long since become an overused styling cliche, having gone from "way cool" to "me too."

I like the powder coated black ones. UPR sells them, and I've been wanting one for a while now. Do you have to drill holes to install them on a non-Bullitt?

Theres few close to me themed McDonalds, Pilsbury Dough Boy, and Fruit Loops.

Think of what else he could have gotten for the money spent on that car.

Also I wonder how long it will be before Bank of America sues him for deprivation of name or something like that?
