I just put a graphic kit on my 04 and the fenders have white marks in them where its been flipped a few times, but the kit covered most of that. my concern is around the gas cap, is white and looks like sh*t, is there anything I can do to try to get some of the color back or fix it?
white marks in blue plastic

I have heard of people applying heat carefully to remedy scuffed and/or fading plastics but I'm not sure how it will work ... You could try using the search function in the upper right portion of the screen/page and search for some DIY plastic fixes. I use armor al for scrapes and scratches in my plastics to pull the deep even blue color back out of the plastic but I'm not sure if that will work on stress marks ?
Stress marks can be removed using a torch or heat gun. Being that it is close to the gas tank I would say use a heat gun.
Take the tank cover off and Clean it good. Use a propane torch, or heat gun and move the heat along the stress marks without elting them.. They will slowly start to darken back up. Its not going to get them all the way out, but it will darken them back up. Is it a blue set of plastics? This is what I did to mine and I got them to settle down a good bit.
After, Clean all the plastics very well. Let them dry and use a foam paint bursh and put Floor polish on the plastics.(Mop and Glo) Do about 4 coats, and they will Shine nicely.
