I've really only liked these on cars that had the gas door color-matched. My GF's 5th gen has it and it just sticks out like a sore thumb in my opinion.

I do like the look however...

Agree. I'm personally a smooth/clean look person myself, so I like the smooth door on my Black Z. Like you said, the aftermarket door sticks out like a sore thumb and looks out of place/looks cheap to me. . I can see why some like it though. To each their own! At least we're driving Camaros!

Yeah, I've seen the "Camaro" gas door on a few cars that was paint matched and it looked pretty good. I do like the smooth door on my car but I can see why people like the Camaro one.

I also do think that certain colors do just look better with them/without them too.

EDIT:

I went ahead and photoshopped the pic real quick to show what I mean...super quick job just to give an idea because I wasn't concerned with making it pretty.

I agree that the Camaro fuel door looks better on certain colors, especially lighter colors where the contrast in colors makes them stand out. Also, on 1LEs and ZL1s because of the black trim both have, like my 1LE below.

Interesting, it does look kind of nice with the gray fuel door. But the black along with the black spoiler, splitter and wheels does tie it all in beautifully.

Yeah, it's all a matter of taste - no real wrong answer... I would say if you have one on the car, I do recommend doing the black door handles too... it helps.

However, having a grey Camaro door on a color like Inferno Orange or any of the Yellows just looks bad, period.

Agreed, it's all a matter of personal preference. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Exactly right. I'm sure alot of people don't like my Z being ALL black everything, but I like it that way. . It's about what YOU the owner likes, not what everyone else likes. I appreciate the opinions, but at the end of the day, I'll do what I like

If it's going to be black, Batman/Knight Rider it up....it looks best that way... just never ask me to wash it


Thankfully, my Summit White one will be here this week lol

Haha! I hear ya! . DEFINITELY a PITA to keep clean, but damn it looks good when it is(for 20 seconds or so). Still don't regret it though! Congrats on the Summit White! That'll look sharp too!
