shaved gas tank

[compwc18]

If you have a shaved gas tank where do the gas stations stick the gas??? Do you still use that tank, and just pop it open??? or does the tank go in your trunk and you have to use it in there?????? Sorry if its a stupid question Im just wondering?

People who I have seen with shaved gas tanks move it to the trunk behind one of the taillights.

To fill their car up the taillight swings out exposing the shaft for the gas to be put.

I couldn't find a pic of it done on a civic.....I know a guy who has it done on his, but all I could find was the same thing done on a truck......here's the pic just to show you the same idea of how the taillight swings out.

Would it be possible to do that taillight thing in a civic???

[les6thboro]

[RedY2KCivic]

I've seen the taillight thing done to more civics than anything else, like I said there's a guy I know that has it done on his '98 ex
He has everything shaved from his car, handles, moldings, gas tank, everything, and it looks soooooo smooth and clean.

[compwc18]

would you happen to have a picture of his car??? and when you shave off the door handles, you open the doors by a button you push on a controller right???? and if you have a pic of it done to a civic, could u show it to me??

[RedY2KCivic]

Yes, you have a door popper and it pops out your door for you. But just remember that it is illegal in most states to have shaved door handles (it's a safety concern, ie if you're in an accident and unconcious they can't get inside the car to get to you w/o breaking the windows). It's a pretty big fix it ticket, and it's kind of hard to fix, so as long as the cops aren't picky where you live it should be ok. But if you're say here in Cali, you'd get hastled a lot.
I'll try to get some pics of his civic when I see him again.


shaved handles/moldings...

[compwc18]

Alright thanks... Do you know if thats illegal in Albany??? And do you know if the door popper thing will ever break and not open the doors??? Well get back asap... Thanks.

how much would it cost just to take the gas pipe and put it into the tailight area?

well, you would have to spend more just to do that. Because you'd have to have it shaved, repainted, moved, have the tail light hinged, and the gas piping rerouted. So you're looking at at least $800 depending on where you have it done at.
