I own a 1993 Nissan 300zx N/A, sorry guys no boost yet lol. Anyway my panel cover that conceals my gas cap has broken off in an unfortunate incident. The clips to it are still on the bars that open and close the panel so it's still fictional. I also still have the panel it's self so I'm not sure if I need to just order a whole new one. I'm just wondering what would be my best way at going at this to get it fixed, I know this might seem like an easy answer and fix I'm just trying to get some feedback from some experts. Thanks!

Welcome!
Basically you are looking at a couple of choices, driven by expense and trouble and your taste:
1. Buy new from Z1 or CZP if they have them, or elsewhere...higher cost as you need to paint it most likely, and new unit cost
2. Find a parts yard and get a replacement unit, hopefully your color...saves costs of new, and paint (maybe)
3. Try to repair the unit...best cost, depends on what broke

I would assess whether repair is possible, and if not search the used parts on craigslist and elsewhere looking for partouts in your color and you surely can find one at a pick and pull, etc. just no color control.
