Default Billet or Chromed fuel doors Y or N?

I was thinking about switching the stock fuel door to a chrome one or billet. Is it nice or maybe rice? I mean Mustangs and some of the old cars got em... just wanted some input..

i wouldnt do it on my own car. i think it is too much, except maybe if you went with a dark gray door since your car is black, that would keep it sublte. but you bought the car so you do what makes you happy. good luck

Of course I say go for it (I did it). It looks awesome, and once it's on, you'll like it. Trust me.

I just thought they looked "old school" maybe adding another customizable and different dimension.

Thumbs up

I like the billet fuel door, its different and looks better then the stock POS!

They dont come chrome, I had mine chromed since all my emblems are chrome and it goes with the car very well.

Ebay is the cheapest as stated in every other post about fuel doors there about 95 to 100 bucks make sure you dont buy the plastic one.
