Need Honest Opinion
Would like honest opinions on whether or not this is cheesy....:bow:
Kinda liked the aftermarket fuel door covers, but at $160 I really didn't feel any were worth it. I started playing around with CAD and 3D printed a concept: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4...pslxknsjy3.jpg Printed in ABS, sanded and sprayed with Flex Seal. I had designed in a pocket to put a GM Certified "SS" emblem, and I put in Stainless 8/32 Cap Screws for accent. 3M taped it to the existing fuel door. Only have garage pics cuz it was dark when I finished, but it gives the idea: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4...psliayhphs.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d4...pszno6b1ow.jpg Thanks! |
Nope.....

Na uh

I just got my place in line for one of these.
Would have loved to see something Fireball related on the fuel door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3i62XCILxE EDIT: I just re-read the thread. Nice work! Definetly be in business if we could refine the shape a bit. I'm no expert but maybe you could sand it down gradually into something different & paint that. |
Its not bad. I think it looks a touch thick but other than that, nice work.
|
The design is good but the texture does not match.
|
Fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with it but, you need to do finish work on it. Clean it up a bit and hit it with some satin black paint and try to gauge opinions again.
|
It would look good on a truck/jeep/hummer, maybe?

Thanks for the input.
Like I had mentioned, this was just a first rough concept, so it has large, visible facets that I didn't bother to sand down. The texture paint was handy to give it an even look. When I get some time I will play with it some more. I think it needs to be flatter, smoother, and with a smaller "SS" |
Personally, I don't get any of these fuel door covers/caps....not sure why you want to attract attention to that part of the car and interrupt the cars design flow.

Not a fan of bringing attention to the fuel door. It was cool back in the day when they were on the rear decklid and it was an intended design.
