Good afternoon everyone,

Has anyone added a door to thier hood to provide access to the gas cap? I believe that Porsche origionally intended for our cars to have access but dropped the idea most likely to save costs.

Here is what someone did




Thanks

I don't have a door. I do have an access hole. The PO of this hood did a masterful job of tweeking the steel around the cap. No door, No hood open, works great.

pjhaun,

Do you have any other photos? Where did you get the door from?

Thanks

David,
I bought on ebay. It is aluminum with a lock door. It is the smallest one I could find, but big enough to get my hand in the door to undo the gas cap. The outside diameter is 6 1/2". The door outside diameter is 4 1/2". I had it powder coated Chormx.
