Have any of you shaved your fuel door? So I am going to get my car painted here in the next few months. The car is a 95 TA and I have a rear bumper with the recessed Trans Am logo shaved. Well, I started thinking of shaving the antenna and possibly the fuel door as well. I have seen it on another car and I rather like the look. I'm not certain if I like the idea of opening my hatch every time I refuel, but I'll decide that later.
What I don't recall is where he relocated his filler cap to. I was curious if any of you guys have done this and, if so, where did you relocate the fuel door.
I don't know how far I want to go with this, but I don't think I want to shave my door handles since I still want to race at the track and I have heard they wont let you. Although, I have seen a 70's nova at the track running with shaved handles.
Any insight into this would be appreciated.

i shaved both but i dont ahve pics of it yet since the cars at burkhart. doesnt look all to great either since i have used an filley to smooth everything out. but yeah i ditched the gas tank since this is a full blown race car with an interior for the most part. i have a 5 gallon cell in back with a 7 gallon water tank with built in trans cooler and water pump.

This is the car that made me think about this in the first place:

He has since sold it, but it looked amazing in person. I have only seen it at night, but it looked black to me in person.

i think it just looks the passenger side? i have mine shaved because if i didnt it would be tacked in there and just look like its there. my wheel tubs cut right across the fuel door opening so yeah it serves absolutely no purpose
