Eclipse ones fit on Firebirds. Just a little modification I believe.

You need an Eclipse fuel door, 2000 model I believe. No big mod is needed. Its hard to explain what exactly you need to do but if you know your way around with tools is not a problem. Got mine at Ebay. The mode looks better on silver and pewter cars and it can be installed with the brushed aluminum look. Any color car can be made to look good and the fuel door can be painted. Expect a few stupid responses from a select group in the peanut gallery though! Go for it!

Autozone does not sell these, they are an original Mitsu part.

Thats weird, I went to AutoZone and saw a bunch of sizes that seemed to fit the firebirds..... the ones I looked at were smaller not labeled for trucks or suvs... I am pretty sure the small ones should fit the firebirds...
