Aluminum Fuel Door

Does anyone know where i might beable to find an aftermarket aluminum fuel door for my max? My stock one wont align correctly anymore and im fed up with it. A nice round aluminum fuel door would look nice and solve the issue im having. Thanks

Contact custom@evolution-autodesign.com they could make you one I guess. You can see a aluminum one here on the same color as your car http://www.evolution-autodesign.com/...s/DSC03938.JPG

Makes no sense at all, a new door is $46 bucks from Pinnacle Nissan.
I'm sure there are a few parts car owners on here that will sell you a used door for about $20 bucks.

Yo, I have gone through 2 fuel doors already from lazy gas station attendants leaning on them. Ours does seem a little flimsy, if there is an aftermarket that'll fit, I'd say go for it, but only if it's cheap. (The first time it happened, I brought it to Nissan to have it fixed and ended up getting charged over $100 for the part, install, and painting)

In some states, for example, in Oregon and New Jersey, every pump is full-service. You have no choice but to let the attendant fill your tank. It is the state law.

not exactly pa they make you pump your own or you can go to the full service line. nj its all full service but if i see the attendent taking to long i get out and put my own in. as long as you know how to work the pump they let you.

P.S. Yea... what was the point of the picture.

Do you have nothiing better to do? Better yet is that the best you can come up with. CF is an acronym for Carbon Fiber and Foe means fake (www.webstersdictionary.com.) I have no beef with real carbon fiber, but getting a stock gas cover and putting carbon fiber tape on it is no beuno IMO (IMO = in my opinion, for those who dont understand acronyms.) Understand now?

I wasn't trying to come up with anything so I guess that is the best I could come up with without trying. Why are you telling me what CF stands for anyway?
First of all www.webstersdictionary.com doesn't exist.
Second of all

Main Entry: foe
Pronunciation: 'fO
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English fo, from Old English fAh, from fAh, adjective, hostile; akin to Old High German gifEh hostile
1 : one who has personal enmity for another
2 a : an enemy in war b : ADVERSARY, OPPONENT
3 : one who opposes on principle <a foe of needless expenditures>
4 : something prejudicial or injurious

3rd of all, like I said, If you don't know how to write it, don't use it. It's faux,

Main Entry: faux
Pronunciation: 'fO
Function: adjective
Etymology: French, false

Do you know the difference between a flame and a correction? If anything I shoul've flamed you cause your post meant absolutely nothing to this thread. Since mine didn't either I didn't see the need.

So nice to see dave sz making nice with the org. whenever u post, it always puts a smile on my face.

Mximus:: i think your car looks great as it is. it's just shy of a drop, but why would you want to go and ruin the color genre you have going. thats an awesome blue. fake cf is just as ridiculous as fitting a round gas door in a square opening.

You know that means that you had a traumatic experience as a child and have no meaning in life. According to those who like to whine when I post.

well, it would take some modification, either fiberglass or welding some sheet metal, body work and then paint to do it right. thats not really what im worried about. if i buy another fuel door its going to do the same thing to me and im just gonna bend it trying to fuel up lol. i think the bracket is messed up or something and as it is, it wont come off so when it does im gonna have to cut it off. the round billet fuel door is just something i know will make the system work, plus it will look nice and original.
