Cheers dropped it off at my place today. There are some minor changes required to make it work in the Solstice. I tried it on a 2009 Sky Redline and it fits.

As I'm sure DeepBlue GXP will agree, the prototype it is an absolutely beautiful piece of engining and art. HOWEVER, it was a bit too wide

Gunnys GXP · « **Reply #52 on:** April 04, 2009, 09:02:14 PM »

I see what you mean. Smoother smaller lobes and a raised center twist line maybe?

Looks sharp though.

Still waiting on a price....

?????

My guess is around $50. They have had my fuse box cover for over a week ---- STANDING BY

G8TR · « **Reply #54 on:** April 05, 2009, 12:11:55 PM »

I'm waiting on this one too. I'd like to get one in blue for the Sky to match the under hood set that I plan on ordering.

Also tried the prototype gas cap on my 2007. It was a 1/4 inch too high to let the gas door close and it was really tight getting enough room to twist the cap off.

I do love testing new products though.

I have an interest in this part provided they fix the size issue and the price is right... I have been to the website and there must be some sort of user error on my part because I cannot find the other "engine bay" caps others are mentioning. I wouldnt mind replacing all of the caps on my 08 GXP with billets like that again if the price is right.

I was hoping to find a fuel door like they have on the Mitsubishi Eclipse as well....

Anyone ever see anything like that for a Solstice?

I am not looking for a STICKER, DECAL, or fake stick on overlay.

Brazen Orange, I would assume that you have checked out this thread?

The Solstice would look funny with "Eclipse" on the fuel door.

Not for me attempting to limit the amount of silver/chrome not add.

BIO Hazard · « **Reply #60 on:** April 16, 2009, 11:35:03 AM »

Sorry Sly Bob -

Didnt know or see this thread you have pointed out. By the way the link to MRZ doesnt work (keeps coming back as server full). Obviously my search skills are seriously lacking and suck.

Yeah... the "eclipse" part would have to go...

Hows aboot the words SOLSTICE or GXP and for our Saturn Brotheren SKY/REDLINE.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #61 on:** April 16, 2009, 12:55:43 PM »

Not for me either, the less chrome the better.

Hey Silver/Chrome is good!

Nice looking under the hood, PubliusE!

RichSol · « **Reply #64 on:** April 18, 2009, 11:45:03 AM »

Me like chrome! Real chrome that is, not that plastic krap we have all over the car. I wish someone would make a chrome version of the stock GXP grills and light surrounds. Hopefully we are soon going to have some options.

MRZ
I am the person who sent you the email asking about white.
here is why.

however, the Black Anodized does look very nice and would probably work just as well.
I gotta paint my oil dipstick one of these days

Va_Sky · « **Reply #66 on:** May 01, 2009, 04:54:29 PM »

Any update on these being made??? I know there was a fit problem on the Solstice but not on the Sky. I believe that was right...

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #67 on:** May 01, 2009, 05:04:22 PM »

There is a revised one getting shipped to Cheers. He doesn't want two designs. The other did fit a sky but only because the sky is a little wider that the Solstice.

Ben L · « **Reply #68 on:** May 13, 2009, 05:41:17 PM »

OK, maybe we'll get a response over here.

I'm ready to order my black andonized billet fuel cap with GXP engraving.

Are they available?

Will they ever be?

May I please have a response to my questions?

I am a repeat customer. I was an early participant in the first group buy for the billet caps.

You loved me then. Where's the love now?

GXPinKC · « **Reply #69 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:00:47 PM »

Ben L, this is GXPinKC. I just happened to find your post, really by mistake, really. The first Group Buy has ended. However, a second Group Buy is currently going and I would advise you to go to the thread that is currently on-going and it is the 2nd Billet Group Buy. With your interest
in a Red Anodized OEM Billet Cap, we welcome you to go over to the thread that is currently active. You would be order#16 I believe. We need
20 orders to get to the second price reduction. We are just about there.

Ben L · « **Reply #70 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:38:13 PM »

Uh. Now I am really confused.

I understand there is a second group buy on the underhood caps. But I already did participate in the first group buy for the billet underhood caps. I was No. 19 of the first group buy

Hence, what I said in my previous post -- "I am a repeat customer. I was an early participant in the first group buy for the billet caps."

So the question I keep asking is, what about the gas caps?

Dan · « **Reply #71 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:54:47 PM »

I'm also interested in the availability for these gaps.

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #72 on:** May 14, 2009, 08:15:56 AM »

Ron, wrong set of caps. This thread is for the Gas Cap. As far as I know, the first cap didn't fit the Solstice, Cheers is waiting for the new design. Once that is tested, then we'll get into a buy... BTW, the first one did fit in a Sky.

GXPinKC · « **Reply #73 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:27:25 AM »

Thanks for bailing me out Joe. My bad! Sometmes my memory goes to hell and a haybasket. Sorry Ben L. I should have remembered you were on the first group buy.

Ben L · « **Reply #74 on:** May 14, 2009, 11:40:08 AM »

De nada. Clearly, I'm quite forgettable around here!
