Default Billet Fuel Doors?

I'm thinking about installing a brushed aluminum fuel door on my 2003 Z. but, having a VERY hard time finding anyone that carries one. Does anyone know where I can find one?

I think it may look good considering it would match the door handles Post up some pics if completed!

I have to leave my opinion on this one, and I say don't do it, because it just looks so out of place, it reminds me of the back in the day silverado 4x4s jacked up in the air 9 feet, with 49 inch mudswampers. it did look good on that. lol

It might look alright if done right. It may match the door handles pretty well. But if you make it really shiney and stand out from a mile away, then I would suggest not to do it. I have not seen anyone selling these for the Z though.

will on second thought thinking from that point of view, I could see how it can be tastefully done, brushed aluminum would maybe work.

its that I have already seen this done,and it ruin it for me , but It was a freaking sticker, and I'm just sitting there, going you have to be kidding me, what kind of cheap as drives this car to even put that on. but enough with that i don't even want to think about it, poor cars

doesn't the Audi TT have that stock? +1 to what everyone said, if it matches the color and finish of the door handle perfectly, it won't look rice. better yet, find a way to put the 3 little square pattern on the fuel door.

Thanks for the feedback. It's just a thought right now and I was looking around for one but struck out everywhere I went. I think if I find one with the brushed metal look to match the door handles.. it'll look pretty good.

I was thinking about the 3 square pattern as well, but it would probably just look better with the Z emblem etched in it tastefully.
