You can always clean that tape/glue up. But I agree, I want a black one, but I only find Alum. or Chromed. :/

Ram 02-08 fits..its the same exact gas door. For mine, I hopped on eBay and bought a stock one and painted it with truck bed coating. I kept my old one incase I wanted to switch back or if I sell the truck.. $15 investment

I can get some good pics of the inside of a ram fuel door on Tuesday. It's a white truck too so the pics will contrast well.

I think if the stock fuel door is the same, the aftermarket stuff should work just as well too? Someone's gotta take the plunge, I vote Reggie lol

If you find on in aluminum, send it off to be anodized. Just realize that aluminum does oxidize in the sun, which will reflect the finish of anodized aluminum.
