since you asked...no. My dealer wanted to give me one for free and I politely declined...ok it wasn't that polite...I laughed out loud and asked him if he was kidding.

This car has such gorgeous lines and sculpting...that only breaks up the view down the side...

Even though it seems like the majority of people don't like it, it's really your own opinion that matters most

. FWIW, I still kinda like the Pontiac Aztek (you have to give them some respect for going away from the norm) even though everyone else abhors it. I refuse to change *my* view on it.

Poor Aztek, the only thing that seems to come close to that much hate is the stock wheels on the 86, which I happen to like and won't change my opinion either. The Aztek though, well, most of its reputation is deserved, unless of course you have the one with the tent.

I agree with cwik on this one. I have actually never seen the metal/chrome fuel door (real or not so real) on ANY car/truck that I liked it on. It just looks like you're trying too hard to me.

I do like it on airplanes though!

Again, it really is just personal choice, my opinion only matters for my car in the end. Most folks probably won't like that I plan on using a flat black shark antenna on my Firestorm, and would most likely consider a flat black aero-kit if I have to paint it.

they'd have to pay me (a lot) to have that thing on my car.

That's a big negative good buddy.

I see way to many mid 90's ghetto rice from the poor side of the tracks with chrome fuel doors and they never look good, each to his own but they look cheap to me.

Only worth it if you get the decal kit. Knowing about these other pieces, having only the fuel door decal alone makes the car look incomplete IMO.

My vehicles is going to come with it pre-installed. I can just peel the sticker off?
