switch Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm looking at replacing my faux gas cap and was curious on the best way to remove the GT cap and replace it with the CS cap. It's just stuck on with double back tape isn't it? Thanks for a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 You might try mono-filament line & draw it through the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfarmdog Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yes it is stuck on. I used a plastic putty knife and a hair dryer to start prying it loose. Some people have had luck using fishing line to pull it off. I was not so lucky. My 3M tape split on me and I had to spend quite a bit of time removing the rest of it from the car. There are two large pins that fit through holes that you should be able to feel from inside the trunk. You can push on these to help with the removal.

I hope to put the SGT cap on mine when It becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switch Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I saw a cs cap available from shelby performance parts cat.. When do you think the SGT cap will become available? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardluck33 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Before youall remove the cap almost all the aftermarket and even Shelby ones are placed over the existing cap the BJ ones are center stickons and the scott drake ones are stick over inside and out mine is satin finished and was applied with double sided tape This is true. However if anyone is removing the parts you want to use fishing line like a 20lb test and it will pull it right off with no marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsdad3423 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Anyone know what the SGT/SC one will be like? For install I mean, I've seen the pics. Just wonder if it will be the plastic insert in the center or the entire badge? This is true.

It is a mylar emblem which has beveled edges to attach right over the GT emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
