Default Black Billet Fuel Door

hey guys, was just wondering if anyone could recommend a decent site for ordering a black billet fuel door? ive visited a few sites all of them seeming ridiculous in price, anywhere from $152-$188. I have replaced the stock fuel door 3 times now, and had to have the side of my box painted once because the rattling of the door began to flake away the paint. Also was wondering what you would recommend for an exhaust. going for the loud and throaty rumble. thanks

I know i've read quite a few posts on here saying they have the AMI one. That is the one i just ordered. I got the non locking version and it was only 50 shipped.

I think I still have one - non-locking - but not sure all the hardware is with it. I bought it a couple years ago with some other parts thinking it was chrome, turned out to be black. If you want I'll look for it - $30 shipped?

Found it! It's a locking style - judging from key it's a AMI (?) brand. It's black w chrome accents. It is missing one of 4 small screws on the plate on the back side. And there is another small piece that's in the bag with it. Honestly I don't know if that's part of the hardware or not. Maybe someone else who has one will know and can say?

Either way, $30 shipped and it's yours or anyone who wants it. I know it's for a Ford because I bought it along with a Volant CAI intake and some other parts that I got from a guy on another forum. I bought it thinking it was chrome, based on his photos, and was surprised to find it was black. PM if interested...

This is the exact same fuel door I have...I like it so far. It does its job....Looks good and it locks to make it hard for anyone to get in there to siphon your gas or mess with it in any way...

I ordered mine from www.autoanything.com
Personally I would order new to make sure u get all the necessary pieces and instructions....mine was a bit of a pain to install since u have to properly align the door and the locking mechanism. I actually had to grind a bit of the jam used to lock the door in order for it to fit just right without too much play in it and without the locking mechanism being super hard to turn....But once done it fits really good and looks great.

(been sick for a few weeks) but my buddy borrowed my truck one day and when i got it back he had put all my stuff i had ordered on my truck ....and when he brought it back he said that gas door was a pain to get on... said he had to grind down some stuff and bend and tweak.. but it looks great

I am contemplating buiying the cheap one at VATO ZoNE. Then blasting it with 220 alox,or scotch briting it,and painting black. It's 19.99. I just don't want chrome
