Universal Aluminium TRD Fuel Tank Cap Cover - Not

My TRD Fuel Cap Cover came today, looks good.....but its not Aluminum its plastic. I don't have to many complaint here, its light and wont corrode in all weather conditions. It was also only $33 compared to $45 - maybe that's why.

It's a plastic gas cap cover that's attached with two strips of double sided tape for $45?

The packaging looked the same as the OEM, everything made in china anyway. The seller made a bit of a false listing, o well its fine for my general day to day use.

It got this thing a long time ago. It's just nice to see every time I fill up. Nothing super fancy, just a nice superficial touch.
