The chrome and overall finish was better than the NOS one and it opened and closed better. The repro is good enough for 98% of the cars out there and I can tell you , I am very pickey about repro stuff . just my .002 .

Even an NOS cap won't fit right in a repop quarter.

DAMHIK..... Add me to the list of people unhappy with the gas filler stamping hole. "Won't fit right" is an understatement. They aren't even close... The side marker light stampings were way off also...
