I did it 2 weeks ago to my car. It was not "hard" at all. It just took me a LONG time because I had to get it PERFECT (or as close as possible). I added and removed spacers, tested, and then filed the edge of the door a little untill it fit nice and flush. Now it looks like it came "stock" on the car. A number of people have asked me "what year Camaro is that?" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
The hardest part for me was saying good bye to $130+ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . But now I LOVE IT!

Putting all the stupid "rice" comments asside Ive been thinking of doing this.. the factory door is a chinzy POS thing and this is much smoother looking..
However.. I think that on any car other than silver that they look MUCH better painted.. Mine would be Pewter with stainless screws.. on red i would do it all in red <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> JMO
On my car its no biggie but on an LE I would be concerend with the slight cutting involved..

Steve,
First off, thank you for "putting aside" all the stupid rice comments. That seriously get's EXTREMELY old. I caught that comment in another post about the clear corners on your old cam, and how they came stock that way.. that was smooth. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Now that that is said, I too really think the door is REAL chinzy, and I want to do something different with it. I'm going with a red/silver motif with a little gloss black here and there. There is however a plan for alot of aluminum parts in the interior, i.e. door sills, shift ****, pedals, air vents, etc... and the gas-door might match my CME tips, and aluminum antenna.
I totally agree though... don't want to cut into an LE... that's why I was hoping that someone would make something that would be ideal, and I bet alot of people would go for a replacement door for that "chinzy" stock one. Well your word holds more weight than mine with the sponsors.. maybe they'll listen to you.

oh...I noticed you guys are talking about the "cutting". I didn't have to "cut" any on the body. I have an 01 and it seems that they must have already opened that "area" that needed cutting. I did however do a little filling here and there jsut to make it a little more "perfect".

That looks cool. I bet it would really look good on my black 99 Z. How much was the total cost for installing it? I never thought of doing that, but if its not too much, I probably will.

I happen to like the look. I just added that to my list of mods for the car. Now, if I could just figure out a remote release button, I'd be REALLY happy.

My friend just did this with very minor modifications. he used a 1995 Mitsu Eclipse aluminum one. they were an option on those cars, and they fit our body curvature. hope that helps.

Well, I am not one for alot of exterior mods. I really like to keep the car clean with just a minimum of fan fair....
But, I can say this; A well done brushed aluminum fuel door on a silver or pewter car would look very very nice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> very nice....

Im still talking myself into doing this.. but in my case I think I would paint it pewter to match the car.. OR I will have my stock one reworked to get rid of the stupid pull tab (AKA nose).. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I would like to buy one that is for a mustang (the remote control kind) where I could press a button on my keyless entry and it will hydorocially (sp?) open up. That would be pretty cool... especially if I painted it NBM to match my car.
