I think I read the installation procedure somewhere saying to lightly scuff the surface before applying the decal to ensure strong adhesion. If the installer follows procedure, the finish on your gas lid may look different than the rest of the body. You can risk it and if it does mismatch, just order a new stock gas lid (shouldn't cost more than $100 painted).

Not for 79... Unless someone buys it for you as maybe a birthday present or something.

No way, wait for an actual chrome or carbon looking fuel door cover to show up on eBay.

Is anyone Japanese-literate? Here is the description of this piece from the Subaru Japan site (from http://members.subaru.jp/purchase/si...tor.html#t=brz but there's no direct link; you have to navigate to the 3rd tab in the 2nd row from the top):
レーシーなアクセントと、デコラティブな遊び心。触られる機会の多い給油口のガードにもなる、独特の質感と 厚みを持つハイボスカル製ガーニッシュ。ボディコーティング処理を施した箇所には装着不可。 Which Google translates to: "Lacey and accents, decorative playfulness. Haibosukaru garnish made with the mouth guard will also be touched fueling a lot of opportunity, a unique texture and thickness. To place the body treated coating can not be mounted." I'm not sure what the boldfaced part means but it seems to describe how the piece can/can't be mounted to the body. Painting that small piece could range between $50-$100 depending on who is painting and how well they can match the finish. IIRC I got a pre-painted OEM fuel door for my G35 for around $80. Even then the color doesn't always perfectly match but at least it's OEM plus you'll retain a sell-able chrome fuel door for someone else who might want it.
