Vote on which locking fuel door you prefer

I am truly at a loss on making a decision for the add on (mod) of a locking fuel door. I have looked, looked, looked and looked some more. I just can not decide on which door I like best. I am not a fan of the painted ones to match the cars color. The fuel door is a opportunity to make it "pop" , stand out and continuing to bring the main colors together. The perfect match painting just doesn't offer that IMO.

Please offer up your vote to help me with my decision. My Camaro is all blacked out, clean look with the only other colors being a small amount of chrome (polished), yellow "SS" emblems and yellow caliper covers which ties everything together nicely. I finally did decide on the door lit sills in yellow and also the kick plates polished with the writing in yellow. My Lyods mats are black with the trim and writing in yellow.

This one will have to be made by basically getting the locking door in carbon fiber then adding the SS vinyl in yellow. I searched high and low yet could not find a picture of the finished product.

None of the above . They all look out of place on a black car. If the fake screws were black on the Carbon fiber looking one it might not look bad .

Hmmmm yeah I'm not too big on the screw heads being a different color... Honestly the one I tend to lean towards the most is the black door/carbon fiber with "Camaro" in yellow.

IMO they are all tacky as hell. OEM locking gas cap FTW.

I would love for someone to make a good looking one, but in person none of them look good. I would appreciate it if they were more like the one on the Challenger. Like they were designed for the car.

I don't like them on a black camaro, or any other camaro for that matter. Get a locking cap that uses your switchblade

Agreed! I will stick to stock... why draw attention to the fuel door?

I agree with you there.

I have always liked the idea, the concept behind it. A tasteful build that does look good on the right car. But who knows. Until i see the right one for me then it may never get one.
