Just wanted to get some opinions. I was at a funeral home yesterday and after visitations came back out to find a dent in the middle of my fuel door. Cost to replace 180 dollars unfinished and then 30 to 40 for paint. I was thinking of putting a anodized black billet aluminum fuel door from silver horse racing on it. The car is red with a honeycomb blackout panel and black rocker panel stripes. How do you think it would look.

 

No info on who did it? If you can find out, their insurance should pay for the repair. Anyway, I prefer the look of the factory color fuel door. Just my opinion though.

 

SHR make a fine product. Here's your excuse to get a nice looking mod.

 

Have you tried taking the door off and knocking the dent out from the back?

 

Just my opinion but look at your decklid, then look at the quarter panel. I chose to leave mine stock so it does not give the appearance of dual tanks. But I do agree, Silver Horse Racing has awesome fuel doors.

 

I just changed the fuel door with a SHR chrome GT one, here are a few shots.

 

Try paintless dent repair. Dent Wizard fixed my hood like new for 100 bucks.

 

(Pictures) Thanks for all of the replies. About knocking the dent out or getting dent wizard to do it, I can't becuase it is behind the framework in the door. Besides it is a very large dent right on the body line and I don't think dent wizard could take car of it.

 

Is it just me or does that appear to be a little too deep to be an accident?
I would suggest that someone would have to have a real hate on in order to cause a dent like that.

 

There were alot of frat boys at the visitations, but I think if it was a hate dent they would have dented the body so it would be more a a PITA to fix.

 

My aunt was probably there.......

 

I vote for a new SHR Billet Fuel door!

 

Ford makes a billet one I bought on ebay for $89 then had it painted body color. (hides it a little better) The bright contrasting ones draw too much attention to ONE spot. (IMO)

 

I've got the SHR one and had it painted body color ...

 

If you want to keep the factory color, just check ebay or post in the WTB section of this forum. I'm sure that one will turn up.

 

Just be glad it's the fuel door and not the quarter panel. I like Yellow's idea of SHR bodycolor.

 

I also agree that not having it in body color draws too much attention to that area. I realy like the one posted here that is painted to match, leaving only the screws chromed. Reminds me of the fuel doors from the Hyundai Tiburon. Looks great!

 

Now, that is hot!

 

+1 That's what I'm talkin bout! I've never been over fond of the contrasting fuel door either, but that painted SHR one looks great.

I agree too, that it may not have been an accident. That's quite a dinger! moot point now I guess. If your going back with the factory style it's a painted replacment. Don't let anyone mud it!

 

The body color looks real good, I have the chrome one, but may change now.
