Topics like this are best posted on the "Appearance" forum. There have been a large number of posts there, including pictures, using a billet door from a Mitsubishi Eclipse.
I'll move this to "Appearance" for you......

Sorry.......but putting something from a Mitsubishi Eclipse on a Camaro screams rice. You can't get much more obvious than that......

Unfortunately, you'll always get people that feel the need to insert their personal opinion on a custom mod instead of actually being helpful (IE: Answering where to get it), but hopefully the trolls of the message boards will grow up or stick to the Lounge while the rest of us try to actually be helpful.
There's a good writeup in this thread on how to install and such. Getting it would be either ebay, which more than likely would be cheapest, or going to either a junkyard and getting a stock one off a wrecked Eclipse (might be cheaper than ebay, and would be quicker to get) or going to the dealership and getting it from there.

Cheers for doing the mod, though, as I find it a very tasteful mod on the right color car [Pewter and White FBodies look GREAT with that gas door!]

don't let these other guys give you a hard time i did the coverstion myself and have been complimented from many CAMARO drivers. a aluminum eclipse door will fit perfectly. i'll see if i can get some pics up tonight. And you can't even tell it's from an eclipse because it fits the body of the camaro so well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Eclipses a North American car meaning they're not even produced overseas but produced in the good ole US of A by hard working Americans. That surely cant be whack or rice or whatever you guys call it these days.

But it does. Point is no way to mod a car and everyone like it. If so then everyones car would look the same. I think it would look fine on certain color cars. If I see something that looks out of place, I just make a mental note not to do it to my own so in the end I guess I should thank them (whoever does mods without worring what everyone thinks) because they saved me some dough or guided me to a direction. In summary it's all good. Enjoy your car and do what you want. It wont last forever, nothing does.
