Never seen one on a 3rd gen

I think painted and subtle fuel doors look better

Just something about a piece of aluminum that screams HERES MY FUEL DOOR that just dont hit on much to me

I'm afraid this response is typical of members in general (no flame intended). I like the idea, however, but no one yet fabs anything specifically for our cars. Try a search. I saw something a while back that I thought had some merit.

Prob look good either way.

I am on the fence, that's why I was asking. Lots of universal stuff available, something may fit. I did a search but nothing came up.

I put one on my car. I am fully aware that most of the members on here don't like them, but I have always thought the billet look was cool so I put one on mine. My door is for a Silverado but I managed to make it work. I don't have any great details on the subject other than, it's quite a bit of work. Worth it? I certainly think so. If you ignore the comments from this site, I've received nothing but positive comments about it.





There should be more pics of the fuel door floating around here somewhere.
