Aftermarket Fuel Door Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Camaro_Custom_Painted · 02-15-2013, 09:30 AM

Does anyone know if this fuel door is solid metal? And are the bolts on the face actually loose or part of the door itself? I'm asking as I would like to have it black chromed and the chrome shop is asking me this. I don't want to purchase one until I know if I the shop can do the work.

Yes the fuel door is metal, and the bolts aren't real, they are just there for looks.

I have that door and like it. I think it looks good on my black car with dark grey/silver/chrome accents. The little chrome bolts are real and screw out of you want.

That fuel door painted body color looks real good. Makes me want to pull the trigger on mine even more.

I installed this one today. It is not black chrome but just wanted to offer another style/type. This is solid aluminum with the horizontal lines and SS logo milled out to the natural aluminum.
