fake gas cap loses its paint
Anyone else have this happen? The car is one year old. The black paint on the fake gas cap just peeled off. First i noticed a huge piece had peeled away. It looked like crap with part of the black peeled off. Then the next time i washed the car, i pointed the garden hose at it and the rest of the paint peeled off instantly.
I can't decide if i like it now being unpainted, or if I should repaint it. It's not really a noticeable defect to the untrained (non-Mustang) eye.
I included a before shot (from a year ago) and two after shots as it is now.

I have noticed a couple scratches in mine where I can see the chrome underneath the black, but nothing like that. Hmm. Maybe I should get the SHR replacement.

Do you have any shots of the entire rear of the car with the all-chrome fake gas cap? I like the look up close, but would need to see the whole thing to really have an opinion.
My car is only 5 months old and is already starting to peel

After my original post this morning, I passed my wife on the way to work this morning, and she calls me right away and asks, "Did you do something to the back of your car?" [btw it's been that way for a little over a month]
I said, "No. Do you remember over a month ago when I told you about the paint peeling on the back?...Well, that is what it looks like now. All the paint has peeled."
Then she informed me, "You gotta get that fixed. It looks terrible."
I'll post a pic of the entire car when I get home tonight. I don't think its terrible, half the people will like it and half won't. But i'll probably end up fixing it.

I would love to get one of those Marcello, except for the fact it does not use the current GT font. If you start making them with the current font, I will buy one. ![Stickpoke](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/stickpoke.gif)
