I'm looking for a Gas Door Cover. I'm THINKING about doing this, not too sure yet. I would probably like a brushed aluminum one or something along those lines. I like how the 350Z looks with one....thinking about it for the tC.

How easy/hard are they to install? just curious.....

Thanks!

yea...i want one like that too

Hmmm that does sound like it will look nice...

Maybe we can try fitting in some of the gas door caps we've seen around like the ones from 350Z or from an AUDI anyone?

Does sound like it would look sweet. If anyone can find one that fits, please let me know.

Like this?

I found it on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7933846746&category=50447&sspagename=WDVW#ebayphotohosting).

Not looking for a decal. atleast I wasn't. I want the real thing

Yeah JasonH, Thats just a decal Im looking for the real thing aswell

Well one complicating issue is that there is a bend in the body work that goes through the gas cover. I'm sure a part made for the tC would be fine, but it's unlikely anything not made for it is going to look at all good. I'm not sure if I'd go this route though. Maybe on a lighter car it would look good, but on a FM, I think it's just a really big fuel door and something metallic might stick out like a sore thumb. But just the same, I'm always interested in more accessories ;0

*cough* RICE! *cough*

i want something with the look of the 350 z but made for the tc. no decals. i don't know. MORE ACCESSORIES!!!!!

If anyone replaces their stock gas door cover for a black sand pearl tC with something else, I'd love to buy it. Somehow, I suspect perhaps by a passing individual's fist while parked, my fuel door cover was dented. Since nothing else was, I'm at a loss for any other explanation for how that would happen.

It might just be able to be popped out--I was late for work and didn't have time to investigate. This weekend, my passenger side windshield wiper was bent in some strange way, and I walk out this morning to find the gas door bent in.

I have absolutely no drama or conflict in my life and I haven't hit anyone's else's car, so there are apparently some really bored kids in my neighborhood.

You should get on McGeorges web site and send them an e-mail to see if this is possible. They have been very good at responding.

A CF one would look kinda cool.

not for me.

i ordered a cf sticker for my gas door from www.randode.com, but if anyone finds the real deal id replace it.

I just bought a white tC and the first thing I thought of was, damn I wish I could get an Audi TT gas cap for it. If you've found any customizations, please let me know.

thanks...

from what i can see from my 350z and pics of the scion tC, the bends are completely different.

the tc has this abrubt curve in that area of the car... I think that a company would have to custom make something like that.

There was a guy around selling CF gas doors for a while, but they were a ripoff.

He was charging like 90.00 for them.

looks cheap and tacky, I'm sure you'll find it on ebay

i am having my dad custom make me one an my brother is an engineer an is goin to mill me a custom guage pod--- The doorcoveris goin to be a lil tricky cause you have that body like there an mydad is just goin to keep that body line an make it flow together---my dad builds cobra cars an we have alot of CNC machines an computer lathe--welders-- its goin to take some time to make---let you guys know how it turns out an take some pics--

my brother is almost done with the gas cap Cover like the Billet ones you see on the mustangs-- an it follows the body line-- I cant wait till i have it on my car--you you guys like it he can make some---for people that really want one--

I only found one CF gas door on eBay and it was for a (chevy?) pickup truck (heh, they're all the same to me)

as with taillights, ive seen nothing but s*** for the tc.

Need some photo shop examples of what would look good people and i can't but i know there are skillz out there. BTW i will have a SSM TC and was curious to see what that might look like but anything would be great to see.

Here you go, Corrected :) ^ that's pretty tight. Looks like one i've seen on Hyundai Tiburon's.

Bump this up... I would love a billet gas door.
