Finally got the faux gas cap situation done with an acrylic disc. Lots of work on the 13-14 but at only $18 for the disc I'm happy with it.

Basically you have to remove the black factory disc(I cut around the gt with a Dremel and pried it off with a flathead screwdriver), then you can pop off the remaining faux gas cap piece by pushing in 4 tabs(used mini screw drivers) and prying it with a regular flathead screwdriver. Finally you have to sand the gt letters down completely smooth, peel the backing off the tape on the disc, stick in on, then pop the whole assembly back onto the car

Few pics I have from yesterday






The tape provided is only horizontal so it doesn't grip very good due to the curvature of the faux gas cap area. I have it off right now redoing my paint work on the trim ring, and then I'm gonna pick up some better adhesive

Completely removed the gt area to hopefully lessen the curvature


Tape provided(black is from paint)
