Nope. To tell you the truth, I think most people on here leave the aluminum fuel doors to the imports...

I would suggest if you do get a billet fuel door to paint it the color of the car and leave the screws. There are some pics of this floating around, here is a thread I started way back https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...llet+fuel+door I thought about doing it but too lazy right now.

Wow, I didn't realize there were people on this site that did the ricer thing...

Why would you want to set your fuel door apart from the rest of the car??

It looks like ***, just my opinion tho...

close minded people on here kill me. god forbid something is changed on the car.

imo they look better painted. imo the stock door on my camaro is ugly. i dont like how it has the bump so u can open it. the one posted above is much more flush with the body.

i personally like the aluminum fuel door as long as its painted the same color as the car and the screw holes left aluminum..... looks sweet that way i think ......now just left plain it sticks out to much on a solid color ...yuck

I'd install one but there is no going back if you don't like it. You'd have to do some paint and body work to go back to stock.
