OMG.........

Enough said.

[BettyWoohoo]

Would be nice if they had it in other colors... but other than that it's awesome

[constantin]

Got one. Very nice.

[bobby]

People are willing to spend $40 or so on a gas cap?? Admittedly, I'm a lil' slow, but.....why?

[contraband831]

very nice a little pricey though

[LtNoogie]

bobby.. people spend 3 grand on turbos...lol some people just like to dump money into things..

Well, I just spent $13 for a black t-shirt. That justifies the $3000 that apparently will get me back up to factory stated hp. :frown:

Umm, true. Sadly, that's why far too many American's are up to their eyeballs in debt. I feel VERY fortunate that although I am not rich (far from it) I owe nothing to anybody. If I cannot afford to pay for it by the time the bill comes in, I don't buy it, because it means I cannot afford it. I do not keep balances on credit cards...banks pay ME interest, I don't pay banks interest.

If you buy a worthless gas cap for $40, and have debt on your credit cards, that silly cap winds up costing far more than the already silly cost of $40 (for a GAS CAP!!) with the interest you're paying to the credit card company. Why would anybody do that? Sorry, I don't get it....:iono:

[bikegerm]

Hey Bobby... it's not a financial forum, it's a forum about people who are passionate about their cars. If I questioned every purchase I made related to my hobbies I wouldn't have any hobbies!! As long as I can pay my bills, sure I still have credit card debt, but I "WILL" have one of those gas caps. So what? It's $40 and I'll be the first to say it's a terrible "financial" decision, but it will be an enjoyable "EMOTIONAL" decision !!

Oh by the way. I made another "terrible" decision last week.
I purchased a Tanabe Medalion exhaust from Cali !!!!

[msfire671]

Got one. Very nice.

nice...lucky you! :biggrin:

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

does anyone realize its clearly states fits all cars EXCEPT ours.....

[kimona]

I think it's really nice! But for $40, only you get to admire it for a few seconds each time you fill up.

[Benggolf2]

does anyone realize its clearly states fits all cars EXCEPT ours.....

You sure aboout that? Check post #3 of Constantin; is the filler neck of his Yaris any different from ours?

Just want to be sure, because this is a nice item to have. :wink:

[cali yaris]

Why would anybody do that? Sorry, I don't get it....

That's not the truth. The truth is you don't get it AND you have an opinion about it -- which you've made very clear.

Meanwhile, those of of us with no debt AND a bit of money to play with will dress up our cars as we please, thankyouverymuch.

[Benggolf2]

Hi Garm! What's the verdict on this TRD gas cap? Will it fit our Yaris?
Hope you stock em if they fit. I'd love to have one myself. :biggrin:

[cali yaris]

I don't know, don't have one to try out! (Thomas... help?)

[bobby]

...as long as it is going on YOUR credit card, and YOU'RE paying the finance charges on top of the $40 ($40 for a GAS CAP, lol!!) I am very happy...and relieved it's not my money. :biggrin:

[PetersRedYaris]

This mod will add significant horsepower as it allows the gas tank to run under higher pressures thereby increasing fuel to the engine... :rolleyes: Or it just looks nice... :laugh:

Lets put this "performance" mod right on the wall with the TRD radiator cap and TRD fuse box cover. If you have the money, cool, but people who waste their money on parts like these tend to not have it for long. :iono: But who am I to judge?

I'm just glad this was posted in the cosmetic modifications section.

[Ryu]

Gas cap looks like those on the sport car, it looks great !!
If people are going to keep the car for long and pay it off right away, I don't see why not.

Not sure will those fit onto our car though, but thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Some people love there cars and anything JDM they can buy and put on. I can appreciate it, car pride is a good thing to have. Take a look at a lot of the cars around this forum. However, I personally I agree with you, $40 for a gas cap is nuts.

But you must admit it looks a lot better than the plain old boring black stock gas cap. A lot of people on here also enter there cars into comps, having JDM parts and or different parts to anyone else helps you win those comps.

This is a car forum after all. I bought an aftermarket air horn, most people on here appreciate that. Some people are like "Why would you buy a horn when your car has one".

That's the beauty of a forum, it's full of opinions. None are right (except mine :smile:) and none are wrong (except captavise :evil:).

These will look awesome on a JDM plate!

With a TRD fusebox cover, TRD Oil cap, and a C-One radiator cap, I resemble that remark !! I guess I do "need" that TRD gas cap to add to my financial eccentricity !!

HOW MUCH MORE CLEARER CAN THAT GET. im a JDM TRD whore and if this fit our cars id already would have had one for a year now......

This is a car forum after all. I bought an aftermarket air horn, most people on here appreciate that. Some people are like "Why would you buy a horn when your car has one".

An air horn I can understand...the stock horn is not that loud, and having a loud air horn could be seen as a safety feature, and could--potentially--be lifesaving.

A $40 gas cap which costs a buck to make, and is never even seen, seems kind of silly to me. (Have you also considered having an artist etch an interesting design on your muffler...?) However, it is a free world, and everybody has the right to choose what they want to buy.

Funny, but I can't help thinking about P.T.Barnum though...

[cali yaris]

PetersRedYaris, I can always count on you...

people who waste their money on parts like these tend to not have it for long. But who am I to judge?

a judgement, followed by "who are you to judge"... now that's pretty funny :thumbsup:

Umm, true. Sadly, that's why far too many American's are up to their eyeballs in debt. I feel VERY fortunate that although I am not rich (far from it) I owe nothing to anybody. If I cannot afford to pay for it by the time the bill comes in, I don't buy it, because it means I cannot afford it. I do not keep balances on credit cards...banks pay ME interest, I don't pay banks interest.

what if you dont have a balance on your credit cards... is it ok then?

[custom Lftback]

are their any other gas caps as an option for the yaris? possible less cheaper ones?! lol

[bobby]

what if you dont have a balance on your credit cards... is it ok then?


It's better. To buy anything that isn't essential when you're paying monthly interest charges on c/c's is pretty dumb, imo. I don't make a lot of money, but I do budget very well. I have not paid a penny of interest on c/c in over 15 years, a record I'm proud of. This is not how "typical American's" spend, and I feel fortunate that I am not a typical American. :wink:

[thatboyjer]

why don't you just have a balance and pay 100 (or however much is calculated) over the minimum so you never touch the interest? If you do it directly and not online there shouldn't be any finance charges...

that or spend as much as you can on a cc and pay it off in one paycheck? especially if your limit is only 1000 you can pretty much pay that off in a couple of days. I don't see the big deal especially since it'll build your credit in the long run.

I have 4 credit cards and a credit rating well over 750. I zero the balance on each of them every paycheck and i was able to buy my own yaris and sign for it myself with 6% interest.

So again, i don't see how having a CC will hurt you. The "typical" american doesn't know how to manage their credit, which is probably just as bad as having, NO credit.

[ChinoCharles]

bobby, I know you don't live in New York City if you're preaching fiscal responsibility. Isn't a gallon of milk about 2 grand up there? I hope you live in the burbs...

PS: that post definitely says it won't fit our cars. Whether or not it is correct, who knows? Maybe the one pictured earlier in this thread is a different size?

hehe I only use 0% interest cards....and pay off monthly....or carry a balance for a certain amount of time say when an emergency comes up that requires more than what is in the bank account (i.e.) house floods or tranny goes out....

[Thej3sta2]

Man Opinions are there for people to use.

So heres my opinion. . . Dousch

[bobby]

Err...do you mean 'douche'?


ChinoCharles, of COURSE I live in NYC...I hate the burbs!! Sorry, but the burbs bore the HELL outta me. NYC is the only place I could live.

[Tamago]

you'd need to buy a clear plastic gas cover lmfao...

[bobby]

I don't get it. :iono:

[Callisto]

I don't get it. :iono:

I think it means to get a clear fuel door to show off the cap.

[kmfuse87]

I think it means to get a clear fuel door to show off the cap.

Just take the door off and do some body work to fix the ugly parts. Would look amazing. I know before there was talk of this particular one not fitting 08's. Have we figured out if there is one out there that will fit 08's?? Or is it a lost cause?

[Benggolf2]

Or is it a lost cause?

I certainly hope not! :biggrin:
But maybe it is......

[PetersRedYaris]

...a judgement, followed by "who are you to judge"... now that's pretty funny :thumbsup:

What can I say, it's hard not to judge when you see the rediculious crap people waste their money on. :rolleyes: Sorry, your not going to add this to your lineup, are you? :biggrin:

Besides, who am I to judge? What I'm really doing is voiceing my opion that your shouldn't take seriously. I didn't say "I'm not one to judge"...

and those pedal covers you have aren't a waste of money????

[bobby]

I am having an artist etch some interesting designs on my muffler. I feel it's a good use of my money! :biggrin:

yes but then you'll get awful fuel mileage... from the drag created by the hole in the side of your car..

ohh the irony..

this "mod" should go next to LED washer nozzles, TRD badges of any kind... i hope to god you wouldn't win points for a TRD gas cap at a show...

[PetersRedYaris]

and those pedal covers you have aren't a waste of money????

I made those for $3, but looking back, they were a waste of time.

I'm just speaking from experience. I have wasted money and time on stupid crap in the past, can't I tell other people to save their monay?

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

i figured after finding out it didn't work that this thread would be dead instead of a bash session on dress up parts.....

[cali yaris]

no way, keep it going -- I don't watch TV, so I NEED you guys. :rolleyes:

[djgoodonya]

no way, keep it going -- I don't watch TV, so I NEED you guys. :rolleyes:

haha. I don't watch much TV either, but reading about a man complaining about American spending habits is probably worse than listening to Sarah Palin respond to...ANY question asked of her (ssssss ouch. the start and end of any political remarks)(she's still a bit of a milf). It's a futile effort. Being that I live in NJ, a fancy gas cap is a dumb thing to spend money on. People will spend money on things others will find useless, but who are we to judge? :clap:

[Red Horse]

My Uncle lose $800 to $1500 everytime he goes to Pechanga casino.

[Benggolf2]

Let's turn this to be a fun thread.............list down all the "useless" dress-up stuff you added in your Yaris! :thumbsup: :biggrin:

Let me start....Netz badges, Vitz emblems, TRD emblems.....:tongue:

[dg4rez]

rather spend that money to fill up the tank it covers...

[darthbauer]

Will that get you more HP gains than the TRD oil cap?


:laugh:

[thatboyjer]

rather spend that money to fill up the tank it covers...

22 bucks full tank, leaves quite a bit of cash for :drinking:

[cali yaris]

I have quite a few things in my house that serve no functional purpose except that "I like them" -- why would my car have to be different?
