Rara, I would be happy to hack up my fuel door to see if it will fit. If you can send one to me, I would take it for the team  Let me know,

Hmm... If the Bullitt fuel door fits the countour I wonder if this one would too. It's at MGW Billet Fuel Door and there are a bunch of different options as far as inner and outer circles but they're pricy at $185. Regardless, I would love to have the black on my SVT and if gas prices skyrocket I could pass this by the wife as protection against someone stealing the good gas from my car.

I've seen it on a Mustang, and I can tell you that the quality is absolutely impeccable of the MGW fuel door. How it mounts, the door movement, the hinge, everything feels like a Ferrari.
It's one of the highest quality pieces you can get. I messed around with it for like 30 minutes! It's *****in'!
Worth the $185 if you ask me.

the MGW door is of extremely good quality.
the remote door that CDC makes is pretty darn good too, don't know if it would fit though.
It's all about balance.

I'll buy one and test fit it when I get some $$$. Wasn't too sold on the raw aluminum silver against my black car, but the MGW in black would look nice.

I'd be up for either one if I knew they would fit on my Cougar. The idea of a locking fuel door is a major plus. :rolleyes:
