pagerart Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Has anyone added the billet looking fuel door? Shelby or other? I like the look but have only seen them on Roush cars at the dealer. I am not sure if it will look too busy or complement my silver razors. Any pics out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if it will look too busy or complement my silver razors. Any pics out there? I as far as I know, the Shelby logoed doors are not available yet. I have billet fuel doors on both cars. A natural brushed one on the orange car and polished on the white one. You can see the orange car's brushed fuel door in the signature picture below.

LuLu Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I bought mine from Blue Oval. The brushed satin finish is a perfect match to the Le Mans stripes. Installed in 15 minutes too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06-07-08...41266QQtcZphoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting impatiently for the Shelby logo'd one...I've seen it in a Mustang Magazine, asked SAI about it and they swear they'll have it by August...Still waiting...Still waiting...Still waiting...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I'd like the satin finished fuel door on the SGT but it does look good. Tell me about your quarter window louvers. Which make and did you install them yourself? Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about your quarter window louvers. Which make and did you install them yourself?Thanks Jim Thanks! I "installed" them myself (3M sticky tape, so very easy... just be sure to get it right the first time, or FUHGEDDABOUDIT... they'll never move!) All my mods are reversible, in case I suddenly decide Ilmor's right. (not poking fun, there's a real fear in my mind when I do stuff to the car, this statement is pretty true!) I like that they are louvered, that is, no decals stuck to them to APPEAR louvered - I wanted to retain visibility, which I did. The 3D Carbon ones, etc... didn't do it for me. EDIT: http://store.apexshoponline.com/info.html is where I got 'em, prepainted, for $189/pr. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RStangsOC Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hey there, I got the one on my Mach1 from a company called FuelDoors.com They dont currently have them for the S197 body, but maybe if enough of you called and harrassed him he would make them. I know he has made ONE prototype for the S197 because I saw it at a customers shop. The doors are solid billet, and can have a remote control feature. The one pictured below (on my Mach1) uses a special key of sorts to open it. The door pulls outwards away from the body of the car, and then pivots clockwise (while staying attached) to move out of the way of the fuel cap inside. The top picture is of the door closed (almost impossible to get into without the key - or the remote if you have that option). The bottom picture is of the fuel door open, and the splash guard pulled out (protects paint from fuel splash). The top picture is a link directly from the FuelDoors.com site. The bottom one is the door on my car Hope this helps some Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2007RCPShelby Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I wish that Ford had designed a locking fuel door on all new Mustangs. At least the fuel fill is on the drivers side now. Kinda wish it had been located closer to the fuel tank and fill hose further from the exhaust system so that it wouldn't be so temperamental about filling tank when the car is hot. I can't imagine how the 2005 car was to fill before the fuel-fill-fuel tank redesign and update on 2006 to current models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT4648 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I had a FRPP fuel door i installed, never drove it with it on. (winter months) but it just seemed to detract from the overall appearance and different mods i was trying to accentuate. Needless to say if it doesnt feel right ,it doesnt happen !! It really bothered me and tore my eyes straight to it. I put the stock one back on and all my stress melted away. In my oppinion the stock door gives a much cleaner look and doesnt force everyone to think about you filling your car up with gas. However i did sell it pretty fast on ebay !! guess they will have to find out for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbydream1 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'd really like to see the black anodized Shelby logo door on a black SGT-that is what I've considered, but I really hate being the guinea pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Jer; do these just stick on the glass? What would you have to do to remove? Any outward vision reduction/issues? They just stick on the glass, nothing to modify, excellent outward vision (which was a selling point for me)... Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 With gas prices the way they are the locking one is looking more attractive every day! However last time I had one of these I lost the damn key! ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
