Which Fuel Door Should I Get?

Stangurey · 03-19-2008, 06:22 AM

I want to swap out my stock fuel door with one of the ones below. Either the brushed aluminum or the black. Which would look best on my Mustang?

I have a brushed alum. one and like it, I want a black one though. For your car I would go with black, especially if you possibly want to go with black rims in the future. I will probably end up painting or powdercoating mine black, or just part of it eventually.

Yeah... Black may just go better all around since I have so many black accents...

How hard are these to put in?

I have to agree with that. They do look tacky on some mustangs i have seen. some look great on the other hand. If you go with all black accents, im sure the black door will do it for ya!

and V6_Power... do you want to give two cents or twenty cents? lol

The Bullitt fuel door was the very first mod I got for my first mustang, like four years ago. I never thought about hoe much I didn't like it till I saw a picture of it on my GT, sticks out like a sore thumb to me now.

So do you advise against it? You should put your original one back on...

01FR500 · 03-19-2008, 11:12 AM

Haha, I would BUT... When I installed the Bullitt fuel door on the v6, I lost the stock fuel door, and so when I got the GT, not yet realizing how I don't like the bullitt fuel door much anymore, switched it to my GT and put the stock GT fuel door on the v6. So maybe one day I will find the stock v6 fuel door and consider putting it on the GT, or paint the bullitt fuel door, the second being more likely.

I think I've decided against changing the fuel door. Like I keep hearing, I agree that it might stick out and take away from the look of my Mustang. Thanks for your input fellers..
