Because I was so jealous on how great DarkFireGT's car looked with the Billet Fuel Door, I had to go and buy one for myself. Here are a few pictures. A better time of the day would of created much less shadows, but it's all I had to work with.

Matches up with your wheels very well.
Nice job.

Looks great. Normally you'd wanna match the wheels, but with the body being black, it works anyway.

I got the aluminum fuel door from the factory, and it looks great and "feels" cool.
The funny thing is, they included the original painted fuel door in the trunk of the car.
It's funny because I don't see any easy way to remove the door and change it if I wanted to...
But here's a pic:


But the best part was when my wife saw it for the first time:
"Honey, did they forget to paint the fuel door?"

Here's your sign...

The fuel door is easily replaceable. If you open the door, there are two studs on the left hand side held in with a couple of nuts.

Not on mine, it's spot welded.
Maybe I need to look at it again.
No matter, I love the way it looks. I just hope no one ever snags it!

I wish there were an easy way to lock it closed.
Too bad Ford didn't put a release lever inside the car or something.

Unless it was installed wrong, it should just have 2 nuts holding it in. Here's the installation instructions from Ford.

I think he did a good job matching both.
