Default Opinions on new fuel door??

So I ordered this custom fuel door online a couple months back and upon opening it I instantly decided it was hideous and was not going on my truck. Thought it looked pretty sweet at 2 am with a couple drinks in me.
Today I installed it for the hell of it and took a couple pics. Not as bad as i thought but have already reverted back to stock. I am curious though, what do you guys think?

Maybe someone out there likes it, I'm thinking they may look alright on a truck with fender flares, maybe a lil ptm? Hit me up if you re in the Toronto area and you can have it for free.

You made the right decision going back to stock. Looks out of place to me. Doesn't look TERRIBLE though since your handles and accents are black, but definitely looks better stock.

If its functional in some way (locking), I don't think it looks bad at all. If its purely cosmetic, I think I'd toss it lol.

Yeah I m trying to add more black accents. I could have got a locking one but decided that would be a pita.

I like it. I'm thinking of getting one myself. Is it matte? Looks matte - I wouldn't want shiny...

I knew someone would like it. It is matte black, a little duller than my handles. If you pay the shipping I could send it your way..

Doesn't look awful, But stock is way better. It kinda looks like your fuel door cover fell off and this is what's under it.
