Gas Door?

Anyone know where I could find a new gas door w/hinges? I've been hittin up the classifieds for awhile with no luck, and I'm tired of having a crappy fuel door. I would prefer to buy one the color of my car, (sterling mist), but I'm not sure if there is anywhere I can do that. Thanks!

Have you tried e-bay? I've noticed that people seem to be parting out cars there these days. Even if you don't see it listed, you might be able to get some contact info and give them a ring.

the bracket was rusted out when I bought the car, so I would have to wedge a credit card in it to get it to open, got tired of doing that so I did a little ghetto work on it and bent it so it would open when I hit the button. Looks like sh*t but it worked for awhile.

I would also be potentially interested, but how much do you think each one would run for the door, the spray, and the shipping.

I am KV3

If you see the location of both me and the OP you will realize that we know each other.

Hello,
If anyone is still on this forum- I just bought an 01, and alas it has a gas door that is so jammed up it needs a screwdriver to open it (no idea how this occurred). what ended up happening to your doors?

I would love to do that, but the only JY around me wont let you walk in, and charges an arm and a leg for parts... usualy its cheaper to buy OEM new...

If your gas door is jammed up why not spray some WD40 in there to loosen it up... simplist solution maybe?

the door is fairly damaged- like a Dog chewed on it for a while. I've molded it back into a shape where i can open it easily with a screwdriver but I think I'm going to need another one. Junk yard is sounding good- anyone know of any walk in junk yards in the Chicago area?

Ah! five junk/car yards in one day and none of them had a gas door available!
at least people in Chicago seem to keep their 5th gen maximas in good shape- though i found a lot of first, second, and third gen maximas.
