Aluminum Fuel Door?

Anyone know where you can purchase an aluminum fuel door for the 93-96 Rx7's? Here is a pic of a nice C-West body kit that has it installed but no info was provided about the fuel door at the site i got the pic from.

It was neat at first but then all the hondas started sporting them.

For something really trick then try out a Dry Brake Valve. It automatically closes when the male probe is withdrawn to prevent fuel spillage during pit stops.

We're currently installing one of these on BOOSTD7's RX7. We're mounting it right above the rear bumper. It's going to be really trick.

I would say go with the Audi TT. Perfect fit and needs only little mod on the Cap ( no need for any body work )

I agree...I thought about the TT door but then all the ricers started sporting them...This dry brake valve looks really cool though...Is is going to be in the stock location?

Here's a couple of pics of my gas door. It's using an aftermarket gas lid from a motorcycle. The entire assembly is only 4 1/2" in diameter as opposed to the stock 6" diameter. If i did it now i think i'd like that dry brake system in the rear so i could get in and out of the gas station that much quicker.

Same Car update. Motorcycle door was welded in and I did not want to cut it out to repair it so I just painted it black. The chrome was getting nasty and i could not find new hardware to replace old one. But still looks good.
