Re: Aluminum Fuel Door v.2
Wow! You already got it in? That looks awesome.
Was it hard to do? How long did it take?
Based on what that looks like, I think I might just have to go with one myself...
What do you think it would look like on my black Z?

On a black z it will look better! 
It took about 5 minutes to figure out the instructions, btw the instructions I used
( http://server3003.freeyellow.com/wojan/gas/FuelDoor.htm )
were only helpful up to the point of cutting a little bit off the quarter panel.
Maybe its a camaro thing who knows but I just had to drill a two holes by the spring (the lip that holds the stock fuel door on) you'll have 4 holes just put the aluminum fuel door to the quarter panel, and drill through the hole on the top and bottom of the spring hinge. Push the bolts through, tighten, and I'm going to help it a little by putting double sided 3M tape on the other side of the door trim so it doesnt move at all. No cutting required.
On a side note, the guy I bought this one from says he has a lot more to get rid of and is intrested in us camaro guys putting them on our cars. So just email the guy, he's a great person to deal with, and I'm proof he has quick shipping.

I really like the way these look but Im having a hard time deciding if I want to do it or not. I have a black Z and Im pretty sure Id like the way it looks but Im still undecided. I was thinking of maybe painting it the color of the car and leaving the screws aluminum....hmmm
Say for some reason I didnt like the way it looks, is the mod reverseable?

Just ordered mine from the same guy. I'm not usually into appearance stuff but this looks too good to not do it. Seeing it on a white car finally has convinced me.
