Hi guys.. I just thought I'd give a quick tip on making sure you dont scratch the hell out of the paint right below the gas cap of your car... I dont know how many people know this: but that metal bracket on your gas lid that looks like this:




Its actually designed (most cars have this) To do this:





This prevents the cap from eventually ruining the paint right where the gas cap dangles and hits againest the paint... eventually wearing it down to the near primer.
Just so you know.. I wasn't sure of how many people know about this.. but I thought I'd post it just in case [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
