Warning for the stupid, like me

these doors are also not painted well! i used some purple power on the cladding.. started to strip the paint off of the door.. looked awful.. so had to repaint it.. went w/ a hammered black finish.. turned out decently..although the clearcoat on it kinda flattened out the hammered finish

well, i may make you feel smarter chopper, with this little story from today......
as i was standing in line at a gas station, waiting to pay for my pop, i was just looking around, watchin people, (it was a loooong line) so this character is out by the pumps getting gas. hes talkin on his phone, and from what i could see, there were alot of YO YO YO's , and what not in his conversation. so hes got the nozzle in his tank, and hes talkin, and talkin, so he decides to sit in his car, while waitin for the punp to quit. well, this FOOL forgets what stage of getting gas he is in.........yup, after about 20 seconds in his car, i see brake lights, a bit of exhaust, and he pulls away RIPPING THE HOSE COMPLETLY OFF THE PUMP!!!!! then i saw the brake lights again..lol.....
what a hoser.....lol
we all got a laugh in the store, after we knew that we wernt going to go up in a big explosion......

etl, yeah, super clean does the same thing to the gas cap cover.......sounds like the same stuff you used......

Nope, I'm still stupid....walked into the garage wearing sunglasses, a few years back...and proceded to drive thru the garage screen.

I have been wondering, you see those nice chrome ones for sale in the parts stores, wonder if our's isn't a off the shelf GM model. Might be worth investigating. Just a thought.

i saw one on a pontiac soltice (???) i think that looked very similar.....or it may have been the 350 nissan, it was kinda on top the rr "fender/body panel......

I think a number of the A.M. ones will (or can be made to) work...you most likely lose the lock feature though.

I've seen this style fuel door on a lot of newer vehicles... and to think the VX had it 8 years ago! Makes sense that the original is pot metal, well maybe not.

Would be nice to find a replacement that would accept a lock cylinder swap, probably asking too much.

But really, who steals gas.. comon.
