Default Sparco fuel door conversion.......

I am doing a Sparco fuel door conversion on my 94 EX sedan along with the other shaving and mods before painting. The original fuel door will soon be taken off and a plate welded in its place then filled and smoothed in. The new Sparco door will be my fuel opening then. I am having the fill tube rerouted to the Sparco funnel and then the inner fender well remolded from where we cut it to reroute the lines. Here are some pics of the door and funnel mounted. Some custom work to the inner "c" pillar cover will be done to look like it is supposed to be there once its done.

Im with him, I think it would look a little bit better if it was a darker color, or matches the car... but chrome is just too "I want attentionny"

It looks good, Why not just mold it into the stock location? It would have saved alot of extra work no?

I didnt use the factory location just to be different. It is NOT chrome. It is actually a brushed aluminum. The car will be a different color anyway. Not black, so the contrast wont be like that. It actually matches the lip on my C5's.
