It's like the billet fuel door of the old muscle cars from the late '60s like the Dodge Chargers and Ford Mustangs.

Yeah if by that you mean chicks wanna f mah body thanks to this pewter beast.



Back on topic... Im not a fan of the door unless its painted. I feel it clashes a bit with the rest of the car, ofcourse on silver being the exception. However, I'd never call it rice, its a cool mod and hey different strokes for different folks. I'd like it in pewter or MAYBE black or pewter/black combo.

And screw all u little "rice" bitches. lol That is the most pathetic e-thug attack on this board, **** off. I dont care if it came from japan, italy, or f*ckin bulgaria, if its something someone likes, and they want to add it to their ride, who the hell are you to call them out on it?

Thanks for the info guys, got it when I was in the lull of fighting the installation of the transmission. It turned out good. Got the TA back on the road Christmas eve and was able to test drive Christmas day. Chasing gremilins now, suspension turned out sweet. Went out for test drive and hit 4th and did 100 mph. She held the road like she was glued to the payment, no bobbles at high speed. Trying to figure out cruise control and repair leaking water pump now. Starting the interior mods in a couple of weeks.

Bleh, I'd stick the door cost into a hood/bodykit. I think the Camaro looks gorgeous with the Wings West bodykit.

The fuel door on an otherwise stock F-Body is just sorta lame, you have to do it in stages with the fuel door being closer to a final thing to have done. Big 18 inch chrome wheels look better next to a SS fuel door than than a SS fuel door slapped on over top painted 16 inchers.
