Carbon fiber fuel door

I finally ditched that tacky OEM BRZ fuel door sticker. I got this from 316-Composites on eBay. The only tricky thing is that the fuel door is riveted on by two 1/4” rivets. It’s an easy mod but finding a 1/4” rivet gun is tough.

Well, Suparu, you darkened your car's tail lights but lightened up the fuel door -

Oh, pay me no mind, - me for commenting -

Honestly, I was like, 'the cheapest, thinnest piece of metal on the car needed to be lightened?' and 'the most unattractive part of the car that I wish would just blend into the body and not ruin the lines of the body just got emphasized?'

My priority is shaving time at the gas station. The lighter fuel door means it pops open a few milliseconds faster.

What can I say, I’m a rare breed
