Cool Fuel door upgrade??

We'll I'm in the market for something new for my fuel door. I want something more race like...not race functional but has the viper-new supra concept look...please chime in and post some pics of products or ideas that you've tried...

Anyone vinyl wrapped theirs? Any carbon doors out there?

Now if you were to remove the quarter window and install a fuel downspout there with a steel door. WIN.

This Billet Style would be my only choice if I decided to change & It may be a long time before somebody in town installs one to look at in person, think about it guys the 370Z is pretty much low production. But its the one for me

The carbon fiber door looks kind of tacky to me. One carbon fiber piece sitting out in the middle of a clear paint job? That just seems to scream Auto Zone ricer to me. Might as well get a stick on hood scoop and some stick on side vents to go with it. At least then you'd have a theme going.

The decal I'm afraid looks even worse. It contains the above issue as well as looking like a half-assed attempt.

Now a real billet door wouldn't look bad, but that curve in the fender would make that a pain in the *** to pull off and look right.

SPOHN's idea sounds cool. I most likely wouldn't do it, but I could imagine it looking pretty neat.

A carbon fiber "look" where it is non-functional, like CF door handle overlays, CF mirror wraps, CF overlays all over the dashboard, etc. look ricey any way you can count them. I don't understand why people want to ugly up their cars with CF glue on wraps. It reminds me of the late 80's "white out" look or late 90's Fast & Furious LED and neon Pep Boys junk.
