Thinking .....

My car is going to have alot of the same looks as the original 2000 Bullitt Concept car .. i.e. same rear bumper, shaved side scoops ...

Which has got me wondering ... how would a Bullitt fuel door look on my car ... my biggest concern is that it would throw off the look that we've been after ... (simple, smooth, clean)

Don't know ... just thinking out loud

Me personally....I would go with the painted fuel door to match your car........The details on those doors would look fabulous with that deep blue.........

Just my .02

are you saying paint a bullitt door??

If you could get a flat fuel door of some kind and paint it to match the car, that would look the best. The Bullitt fuel door would stand out too much from the clean, sleek lines of the car.

That was the original plan but came up empty handed, we've been considering doing a little fabricating on the stock one to lose the little nub ... but alot of work and not sure how functional it will be ...

Go with a regular door, and paint it he color of the car. Looks cleaner.

the little nub looks like chit on the stock door with as clean as the rest of the lines are ...

That might work, John. If I remember right, Eric did that with his '03 Lightning.

I took a Bullitt fuel door and painted it body color and left the screws polished looking. But you could always paint the screws also. I think it looks racy without being too ricey

Here is a pic:
