Default Gas cap door

Do you guys think those aftermarket doors are cool or not? I've seen some neat looking polished chrome and SS ones that have GT engraved on them. A bit pricey at about 150 bucks, but I was thinking of getting one.

Personally I do not care for them. Only one I have seen that I even remotely would give consideration to or approval of was painted the same color as the car.

I was hesitant too. I never liked the contrast. But I finally found one that was black and thought I'd give it a try. It was an easy installation and just as easy to go back to stock.

I changed the stainless "rivets" out with blacks ones available at a hardware store.

I'm still undecided.

I have a black one on my Windevil Blue, looks good imho.
Goes well with the blackout panel on the rear.
Overall, I like black mods against the windevil blue.
I had a chrome one, but since my wheels weren't chrome, it looked out of place.
If I had chrome wheels like the person above, I think it would have looked better.

I'm not a big fan of those....but I will say it looks much better when it's the same color as the car IMO
