I plan on having a shop do a few minor body mods, blacked out brake lights, painted plack section on rear bumper,shave the antenna, and i got the quirky idea in my head to shave the gas tank door and relocate the input spout to the plastic panel on the left side of the hatch area. Anyone have any pics of the shaved gas door or any input?

i have been wanting to shave the gas door for a long time. i have a formula and i want to put the center filler panel between the taillights on hinges like the old 70s camaros. and have the gas come through there. just havnt got around to doing it.

You don't want your fuel filler opening inside the car. You'll smell gas so strong and you risk explosion or combustion. Besides, what happens when you unknowingly use a messed up pump and it doesn't cut off when the tank is full? You'll get gas all inside your car.

it wouldnt have a gas smell if i used the stock cap etc... and i never just let my car fill up by itself

i thought about that too but i eventually want to do the LED filler and i dont think it would fit behind it

well if you race the car at any tracks (unsure of your interest in such things) it would definitely not pass tech inspection if it routes fuel inside the car.

I wouldnt get them to black out or paint your tails/panel..quick enough to do yourself imo

I would post them, but I would be banned faster than the guy that started the "To David.." thread.

Hehe.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to see my wife's......

I ain't mad at her.

I love how ppl think it's ridiculous to fill your car up from the inside...how do you think fuel cells get filled up?
