Is The Chrome Fuel Door Cover Worth It?

Is the chrome fuel door cover worth $79? I like the look but I don't know if I want to pay $79 for a sticker.

I'm gonna vote no on this one. I'm not a big fan of stickers in the first place anyways.

I'm gonna say no as well. If you really want it, I'd wait a while for third-parties to release variants of it. They might even look better.

It makes the car look a lot more finished and expensive.

Our car has it part of the 'dealer accessories package'. Although, I'm not a fan, I think I'm just going to leave it in place.

Purely opinion, but I have a hard time believing stickers on any car make it look more finished and expensive.

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.

$79 is worth keeping in your wallet.
