yes...PLEASE don't put that on. 90% of the people I know think they look tacky. And the 10% that actually like em...are the kind of people that also like gaudy and oversized wings...and tacky bodykits.

It's your car and your choice, but you're representing all of us haha. So please don't.

I think it's very ugly. Why would you want your fuel door to stand out?

That's BS. Do what you like. I have the same door on my black SS and it looks really good. And NO, I don't like oversized wings and tacky bodykits. Get over it. He's not representing anyone but himself.

Theres a guy on here who painted it the same color of his car and left the perimeter bolts polished. That looked good IMO.

Paint it body color. Paint either just the door itself the body color and leave the ring polished or paint the entire thing and leave the bolts polished

i agree with painting it body color. i hate the way we have a little lip on our fuel door and this would make the car look smoother.

oh yea it is your car and you do what you like to your car, do not let the opinion of others sway what you want to do to your car.

Screw thoes guys....Heres mine.. I'll try and find a close up....it sits VERY flush to the body..it looks stock...There are soem on this board that would swear that if you didnt buy a black on black your car is trash...





Last


Ive seen guys with 4" cowl hoods..I think their trash..but hey the guys who have them..like them..more power to'em!

The difference is Im not going to bad mouth them for having them..these are the same guys who start yelling RICE whenever they see somthing that dosent apeal to them...

Bottom line if you like it..do it

I thought I would like it and wanted to do it on my car till I actually saw pics on a black car. Looks totally out of place and doesn't flow well with the car. I don't think it's ricer, I just don't think it fits with the car. Painting it body color is kind of pointless. You might as well keep the stock door and save the money for something else.
