    Car Wash stole my gas lid

    Took the G to a car wash, automatic, then by hand, well after i left, i realized when they drove my car through the machine it most have snatched my gas lid, so i drove all the way back and they couldn't find it, now im screwed out of a gas lid and no compensation.
    Even if i go to a junkyard, im going to have an off color lid anyways.
    How much will a dealer charge, and will they color match it?

    I would just try and find a lid from a same color car as yours. Plus, getting a lid paint matched to you car isn't going to cost a lot either. Dealer may charge 40-75?

    IDK the exact color, i think beige?
    I Believe the user "99 Galant" has the same colour.
    If you would be kind enough to send it for free, i would accept that, it would be easier to colour match it rather than buy one with the same colour anyways i suppose.

    there are also 2 flat black ones on ebay that would run just under 40 shipped that you would just have to get painted as well

    I got a brand new one from the dealer last week for $27. I doubt that the dealership will colormatch it for you unless they have a body shop attatched.

    Need some paint or bodywork done in Chicagoland or NW Indiana???.. http://www.alsautobodyexperts.com/
