Click on the bottom link and go to "Fuel door Idea" Folder. Look at the custom designed fuel doors and vote for what you think looks best. Thank you for all who cooperate.

Keep in mind that the fuel door will NOT be black and chrome. It will be Navy Blue Metallic and chrome (to match the color of my car).

The reason why it looks black and chrome in the pictures is because black makes it look more realistic.

Thank you.

i see what you mean... its just because the pictures where adjusted by using simple mspaint. It appears to be like that because it was not made entirely professional.

Thanks for the vote!

I really wish we could have something like this:

Pretty badass if you ask me.

And as I vote my one and only time, I get a message
saying "Hey jackass, you can own vote once. Cheater Alert!"

When I clicked the button only once!

How rude!

Are you having this custom made? And if so, by who, and for how much???????????

I've been aching to get rid of the crappy stock one on my SS.

Any info would be greatly apreciated.

Jon

I got my idea right from here http://server3003.freeyellow.com/wojan/gas/FuelDoor.htm

I bought an Eclipse fuel door from ebay and im starting to work on it from there. As for the WS6 decals on the middle, the real ones dont fit. I might have them done (to make them fit) in a shop around town. But for now I want to see how the votes go and then ill decide on whats really worth doing.

One thing for sure, I dont want to stay stock. But I just had "stay stock" as an option because I do want to see the public's opinion on this.

I have the Eclipse door too but I did not like the aluminum look so I sanded all that crap off an was going to polish it. But at the last I got lazy and had it painted gun-metal. It looks like the ZO6 rims but a little darker and I changed the bolts to black allen head bolts. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

No sorry need a camera. I had it painted that color because it matches everything like my black stripes berger rear panel. When the sun light hits it the metalic makes it look light greg. Wish I had a pic I know every one would vote for it.

How about a firebird for the pic for the fuel door? Make it aggressive looking. Menacing. Frightening. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
