    I think it isn't much bigger than the oem fuel lid(correct?), just the height makes it look like it is much bigger.


    Anthony does the Italia have the Simpson Design oil cap(hardly a fair description given how gorgeous and functional it is) that matches the fuel lid? I absolutely loved that piece of automotive art work. I'd love another one, wish I had held onto that.

    No, and I wish I could find one, I will be using this one for a few months.............I have a few oil caps that I have collected over the years.....

    also the first 10 pages of this thread are photobucket fail, might want to break this off into its own thread since the first half is toast, most NEW readers will get nothing.

    Looking better under the hood. How many 91 Miatas have an intact oil dipstick? You're welcome ;)

    What does WWB stand for? (edit: windshield washer bottle)

    I wanted to add gas hood struts but I was worried about the flexy fiberglass bulging. Do you have plans for something better than the cutoff broom handle that was in the trunk?
