I know what u talkin about..
something like TAXIS have those lisence plate filps up then u put the gas in there right?

I seen some pix of preludes done to it..u just need to shave gas cap then locate the pipe where the trunk is...but probably fliping there tail light would be pain in the butt..it will get dirty and worst case it will fall too hehe..

and would wanna have any electronic sparks around ur gas tank? since it's near the tail light..woo!!!

I knew a guy that had a car with the gas cap behind the brake light......True it wasn't a prelude....it was an old car that he had restored...kike a 50's model I think? He said that as far as he knew it was stock like that. Point is.....I think that if you know what you are doing, it could be done, and be safe.

I would like to see some pics of it on a prelude if anyone has some

The flip thing is easy actually. It's not really a flip, it's a hinge, and all you do is pull your taillight to the side and then put it back. It's not alot of work. There is this guy down south that did it to his Civic. It looks reeeeeeeeal good. All you need is patience!

A guy I knew shaved his gas door and had the fill in the left rear wheel well inside the trunk. Doesn't sound like the smartest move! Gas fumes in the car doesn't sound like fun

He shaved a whole bunch of stuff:
Shaved Stuff:
--Door Handles
--Windshield Wash Sprayers
--Roof Lines
--Rear Hatch License Plate Holder
--Emblems
--Antenna Mast
--Gas Door
--Key Holes
--Rear Bumper Lights
