Fuel door

Met up w the original owner of my car and he gave me a fuel door he never put on... I'm not so sure I like it

There's a reason he never put it on... I vote for taking it off.

I don't think it looks bad , it matches your wheels and the stripe idea would blend it in a little more ...

Just put a flowmaster sticker on the fuel door. That's good for at least 10 HP

Remove it and throw it in the trash. I never understood why people would want to accentuate the fuel door. I want it to be invisible.

You also have a gt500 get out of this section leave us poor folks alone :-( I want your car ... And I thought it might look good by staying w the throw back theme... I'm going to cover up the fake one on the trunk so making the real one look retro could possibly set the car off... In my case I'm kinda w u lol

IMHO I would say, take it off. I don't think the color of the fuel door goes well with the color of your ride.

I agree. Like the look of the door, but think it would look better in body color in this case.
