Alum Fuel Door Update (painted)

I finally got around to taking some pics after I painted it. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

I really looks alot better painted IMO.Just have one question for you,you list the billet and the plastic doors at the top of the page.If I wanted to do this mod I would either use the billet or plastic doorto do this.

I would rather leave it the way it is...

Hey! I saw your car at the Best Buy in Lewisville one time, about a month ago maybe?

Guys, the pics do no justice! I didn't like it when I saw the original post, but it caught my eye in the parking lot, and when I swung back around for a better look, it looks good!

Props to you for being this original. The first to do something always sets the pace for others. I think its a good touch, now I need to see the painted version. See you on the streets!

That painted one look bada**. Very cool.

The painted one fits much better and looks really good. Great job http://web.camaross.com/bb/cool.gif

ehhh.......props for trying something different,
but personally, i think it takes away from the somewhat clean lines....seems to me you spent all that money for a door with screws on it.

ZRAPTOR: Use the Alum one. The plastic one does not have the alum screws around it.

red blur: Gimme a honk if you see me in the area!

OnyxXtreme: In your sig: "completely stock" Some people prefer to be different. But thanks for the feedback.

The body color version looks a lot cleaner. Looks good!

Skull Leader: I used DupliColor (Autozone, NAPA) I used a clear sealer not clear coat. It's sort of a matte finish

Trans AM 22502: You can paint it any color you want.

W7Z28: Not sure, if someone wants to swing by (carrollton, tx) we can take a look at.

Where is Carollton Texas At? (in relation to San Antonio) I wouldn't mind being a guinea pig!!

wojan: damn you got good eyes, but its stock for now, just picked it up last week! http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Very nice! With your particular color, I prefer your painted fuel door over what it looked like previously. Great job!

Our of curiosity today I stopped by a local Mitsubishi dealer Parts Department on the way to work. The cute blonde behind the counter spit out $147.47 before I finished my sentence and smiled. (She gets that question A LOT).

strangely, ebay lists it for $75.
