Default Opinions on my fuel door

Wrapped my fuel door tonight cause I was bored and wanted to do something to my car.

Not sure if I like it or not. Sorry for the crappy cell pics.

Thoughts?

You know - I do kind of like it.

I think its missing something, tho... Like some polished silver rivets along the edge and a GT emblem embossed into the surface - if you have that ability (not sure how to do it myself)

Really can't do anything like that. This is just 3M matte black wrap material that was left over at the shop. Took 15 minutes with a knife and heat gun.

I'll prolly take it off but it was fun to at least do something!

You know what would look amazing?

Get one of those semi hard plastic Running Pony stickers and put it on there.

I took the grille emblem off my old Mustang and mounted it on my computer. I'll be looking for a place to put it on the interior of my new one now.

Hmmm actually... I kind of like it. It contrasts with the silver, but it's subtle since it doesn't have any design on it. I'd keep it for a little bit and see if it grows on you or not. Of course, legit pics from different angles would help me make a better decision!

Hopefully it is nice enough out to drive it tomorrow. I only drive it when it is dry out.

I'll get some pics during the day if I have it out. I think it's kinda ghetto but I'll keep it on for a minute.

You did a good job wrapping it but it looks a little out of place. What do you think about doing the same thing to your rear spoiler? Might bring the whole look together.

Not sure about the spoiler but I am going to do the trunk panel under the fake gas cap. I am going to use the same vinyl for that.

Like I said, I'll probably take it off. We'll see.

Eclipses killed cool fuel doors for me but it looks kind of plain still.
