I cant stand... actually.... HATE the gas tank lid on the cobalt, its sooo ugly. The part that sticks out to stick ur finger under it to open it just ruins the side of the car. Are there any aftermarket ones that are flat without the hump? I saw a Carbon Fiber one but even that has the hump. I will probly have to make a custom one or something. Get one from a junk yard or maybe someone has one that they no longer need. What do u guys think?

Before-


After-


Some subtle differences but what do u guys think?

Not bad for using Paint.. lol

i think you're onto something...

 

Copyright..... lol.. Doesnt it look good though? Cleans the side up real good, and u can still open the lid with no problem..

O man.... is that quote for real in ur sig? if so that guy is a retard....lmfao

 

I like your idea, I hate the lid too, Most of the time when im drying the car after I wash it, the stupid part that sticks out hits my finger soo bad! it hurts soo much man!

 

I cant believe no one else has thought of this.. lol.

I have a question, are there lights in the side markers? I have never actually noticed and im too lazy to go out and look. And is it ok if I paint over them?

later

 

the metal gas lid on the new Eclipse is awsome. i think i might buy one of those and take to a shop to get a custom fit

 

you need lessons in photoshop or paint lol.

 

yes the quote is real

i couldnt believe it

and he was being serious

 

yes there are lights in the side markers... i think they flahs with the flashers, i painted mine black.. i would not do something that would totally kill the light because i dont know if that would be illegale.. but go for it man, paint them up

 

I want a black billet fuel door... the kind with the trim ring around the outside... every other car in the world has one... and the only replacement fuel door we have is just covered in CF. I'd get it but it'd look really wierd on there.

 

Lets see wut u got biotch. Have u ever tried to use paint, its friggin hard... theres only like paint and erase... it sucks. Lets see wut u can do with photoshop and paint... lol

As far as the side markers.... other vehicals dont have them, so I dont see why the cobalt needs them.. i mean there are 4 lights on the back that do function.. u dont need 6.... lol.


BTW that guy is a IDIOT!

What does flahs mean? Is that spanish or somethin? lol

Party!

I would agree that it looks really good without it. But I don't much mind it. i would get a chrome one or CF one, but how would you open the lid without the finger thing? But yeah, go for it!

 

my tailight covers are good enough for that. though it would be nice to see some type of side marker cover. i wanna paint mine black.

 

Theres like a 2 inch gap around the gas tank lid, if u cant get ur finger in there lay off the bonbons... lol

later

 

I too think someone should come up with a billet gas door for our cars. I want one so bad but there arent any anywhere to be found.

 

The no hump cap does look cleaner. No hump doesn't look as inviting to someone looking to screw around with the car.
I am considering getting a release switch hooked up to mine, seeing as my car is torn apart anyways.

 

My probe had a latch in the inside, so u had to pull that to open the lid up.... i loved that.... nobody could mess with ur gas unless they used a crowbar. And they are not that complicated anyways. Pretty much a pin that goes into the lid, and when u pull that latch, it pulls the pin and pops the lid...

later

 

I should try not using the latch. i'm just used to it. I'm a twig dude! I eat the bon-bons all day long too.

 

nice bonbon eater. I cant wait to see it all nice and shaved. it will look sick all shaved and stuff. post some pix up.

later

 

i want a billet fuel door...i think that would look tight

 

thats what im talking about...

 

ok moron, didnt need the idiot... flahs... cant u put that together?? flash? lol i type quick and dont really bother to check my mistakes.. sorry for trying to help you *******

 

lol and there are not 4 lights that function just 2... and if you try to add back up lights then you gotta add the 3rd brake making 5.

LOL...HA HA Haaaaa.a.. omg... i fell out of the chair... LOL... HA HA HAAAAAAAaaaaA!!!one11!!

 

the hump is there to make it easier to open the door when fueling. I do agree that it looks better without it. A great idea would be to shave it off and then install a popper like you would for shaved door handles.
