This is the first MOD to my Caliber R/T AWD. I have the chrome wheels and the chrome side molding. I didn't have a chrome fuel door! Now I do.

Follow my procedure and pictoral layout.

This is the before modification look.

The ONLY Required Tool was a T-30 driver to remove the two screws (one shown).

After taking off the two screws, I found that I could not get the door out without removing the gas cap first. Word of CAUTION: the filler area does not have a flap at the hole. Put something over that area while you're working so you don't accidentally drop something down there.

Angle the new door into position and replace the two screws.

Screw the gas cap back on and toggle the dangle onto the new door.

Dosen't it look good?

This is the after modification look.

Wow! Looks sweet.

WOW!! The chrome fuel door makes the Caliber look better, it goes along with all the other chrome pieces.

That seemed like a very easy mod, <30min huh?

Another great post and job!!

I like the before, after and during pics on both of your mods!!

Just about 20 minutes. The longest period was in gently wrestling the original door out of its berth. That's when I realized you HAVE to take the fuel cap off. I said to myself, "DUH!"

Thanks

That would do it! Cool, hey we all have those days!!

:::remembering to take cap off first....

 

[caliber4whoosh]

Wow Joe.........

 

[InfernoRedSXT]

I like that

 

[GOT]

It looks cool, thanks for showing!

I'm still undecided whether or not I would like that. I wish the fuel-door were flush and was locked (and had a remote opener inside).

 

[InfernoRedSXT]

you can buy a locking gas cap at least...that is what I plan on doing. It looks to be the same size as the one on the neon.

one of my mods to my neon is gonna be a motorcycle gas-cap.. popup style.

I'm not always a fan of chrome or aluminum fuel doors. Depends on the car. Looks good in your case and integrates well with the polished wheels.

I'd like to see that. I want something else other than the stock fuel-door and the current Mopar one. I wish they had something clean and flush (don't care if it's shinny or not, I just want it clean and flush).

What would also be cool is if the fuel-door were hidden... like behind that tiny C-pillar window. That would rock seriously

 

[suzq044]

or

something to this effect, but painted bodycolor, or black.

 

[GOT]

HOLYHOTNESS! That is smooth! Do those have the same diameter as the OEM caps?

How does it operate... you push it in and it pops out and then you screw it off?

That is something I would want. It's flush and wouldn't ruin the body flow.

 

[GOT]

This one would rock too. It looks like most of it except for 1/8" would be behind the sheet metal. Man that would look bombtastic!

 

[MrTyke]

I would like to see this on a vehicle....to see the process. Anything have to be specially configured to get it in there?

[suzq044]

dunno yet; i have yet to see one in person; i ran across this site @ work, cause i am putting thier data into the website im working on.. i know that there are other 1gen neons [or at least one] that has a motorcycle gas-cap..

 

[caliber4whoosh]

I second or third or whatever the bike gas caps! They look beyond sweet..

 

[suzq044]

lol.. you guys'll probably have em done b4 i even start my neon project ..

 

[caliber4whoosh]

I need to know if they are the stock diameter because if they are, they're going on the Ram and Bimmer...
