Anyone get the aluminium gas cap?

Has anyone who has received their car ordered the aluminium gas cap? Could you post some pics? I would love to see real world pics.

I went to a local Mazda dealer on Sunday - looking for an RX-8. They did not have any RX-8's, but they did have a Mazda 6 with the aluminium gas cap. Looked real sharp!

Thanks simrjor! If I go with the titanium I think I'll skip the gas cap. It makes it too " bling, bling" as they say (man who came up that expression). That thread has some really nice pics of the Titanium, it has that killer look but doesn't go over the top (ie ricer).

I agree that the aluminum gas cap does look a bit too flashy on the Titanium. I think it'll lend itself better to lighter colored models. I'm a fan of the silver, and I think the titanium gas cap will fit in a bit better on that model.

Dunno... the gas cap is something that seems to be very 'meh' and takes away from some of the class the car exudes.

Just my $.02.

In the pics I've seen of it, I think the aluminum gas cap looks too much like it's imitating the one on the Eclipse, which imitates the one on the Audi TT.
