Default Chrome or polished gas door?

Does anyone know where to get a chrome or poslished aluminum gas door for an f-body, like the viper or the mustang. I have only seen them on f-bodys in fotos, but never on the street.

JonSS had a nice looking one on his Camaro, maybe he will reply. Here is a photo:



Kinda looks like the ones on the Mitsu Eclipse?

There is a install guide I read a while back that tells you how to do it with a Eclipse cover.

That is an Eclipse fuel door.


Here are some links I found when I did a search for "eclipse":

Yup, I had the Eclipse fuel door on my 35th. Loved it. Minor drilling of some holes to get it to fit, but it was an easy install, and it looked way better than the cheezy stock door. I thought it fit even better then the stocker too. Not to mention it matched my 19's. Painted would look good too, but I'd leave the allen heads machined for a nice touch.

Oh, I didn't buy mine from Mitsubitchi, but from Ebay. MUCH cheaper. Good luck, hope we've helped.

Tony, ya need to stop posting pics of my car. I'm really starting to miss it bad now...

I think it looks great chromed! I havent seen anyone else with the chrome Mitsu besides mine and it came out really good. It matches with all the other chrome emblems and rims I have on my car. Painted also looks nice.
Heres what it looks like chrome

I just purchased one off of E-bay. There is one individual selling them for 88.00 dollars "Buy it Now" There are 4 left you can buy. I jumped on it because another auction for the same fuel door is already over 100.00 dollars. I think it will look good on a Black Trans AM.

Yea I'm thinking about doing this. This way it will look better then stock, but not stand out.
