RE: Locking fuel door?
Which doors are you talking about?

You will not like those doors.
If you'll notice, they do not have the crease to follow the body lines.
They are just slightly curved.
They will never look quite right, even after spending way too much time trying to get them installed evenly.
Trust me.
My door isn't locking, but I do have a locking cap.

The ones in the Moss link, and the ones in the top picture of the other link.
The one in the inset picture of the first link does have the crease, but it still looks to be of inferior quality to the SHR doors, albeit SHr's do not lock.
Of course, I'm picky.
You all might like them.

whats the point of a locking gas cap? I can pop those locks open in about 2 seconds? I suppose if you want the look go ahead but the lock doesn't work for $hit....

Locks only keep the honest people out.

A locking cover keeps the opportunistic crook or creep out. Certainly better than a non-locking one!
My black cover uses a real key, not one of those simple suitcase lock keys.
It doesn't have the crease but nobody's noticed. Not even me, until you mentioned it! Besides, the original fit of the stock cover isn't the best anyway.

I don't mean to hijack this, but what about a locking gas cap? I like the look of the stock fuel door, but I would like to have a locking gas cap.
Any one have any links to some that will work on our car?

RE: Locking fuel door?
I didn't notice the lack of a crease until you pointed it out. The one at Autoaccessory4U does look cheap in the picture. It may cost more but if you're good with a drill and can find a lock that will fit, get the SHR one without lettering and install a lock in it. After reading this thread I'm thinking of doing exactly that, or just getting a locking cap.
