What's this? New for 2008? And for $135 does it lock? Or have a release from the inside?

 

Seems there is lots of hidden add-ons or changes for 08. I havent even heard of that till just now..curious if it locks also.

 

The fuel door is same as a stock door. No lock and and no latch.

 

Wow... I guess we're not charging enough for our "metallic" fuel doors

I thought they were supposed to retail these things at like 85.00 or so... heck, even the fuel door in the Ford Racing catalog is about 90-something, and it's nowhere near our door in terms of fit/finish and quality. This is much like the pieces made currently for the 04-07 F-series by some of the import companies, where it used the stock hinge mechanism and the whole "door" swings out away from the truck.

 

I have one of these very doors in the box from Ford shipped $75 if anyone interested? Drop me a PM

 

Brandon, what is your impression of the piece? PM me directly if you don't want to post it in the forum - I just haven't seen one close-up yet, but even the drawings from a few months ago didn't do much for me based upon how it looked like it was being made (stamped aluminum skin ~.045" would be my guess)

 

It has OEM fit and style, just doesn't live up to what most of the members here may or may not want. I got it below cost thru a local vendor rep who said it would look good on my car, I threw at him and he gave it back.

 

LOL - okay, that explains it well enough.

 

this is a lot better? At least it blends in a little being the body color...$89 from Ford(brushed)
