How difficult was the fuel door to installe? Were all parts (bolts, nuts) included?
There is a locking fuel door also available. Any reason why you didn't get it considering the price of gasoline?
I've looked at both and am just wondering why you selected one over the other.

i was looking at the fuel door, and said thats a good fit. but, then i looked at the bodyline. it looks as if the outside piece fits the bodyline, but the door does not. it this just a optical illusion? small details like that bug me!!! i also think it looks good on your car, considering the light color, and the other "brushed" aluminum parts on it, such as the wheels. i dont think that it would look as good on my black gt....

I didn't think I'd like the bullitt style fuel door on an '05, but after that, I'm definitely getting one. I loved it on my '03.

Hey Rickman,

Like your ride, did the hood pins come from CDC? Nice touch on the gas cap, did you every dyno your car after installing the shaker..........
