more shaving

Sup..

as some of you may know.. my car is shaved (door handles and trunk)


my car got keyed last month so i will take it to the shop in april while vacation..

Now my concern is, i want to shave the gas door. BUT where to relocate it?

i have seen some installs on older gens (tail light area) but logically, because of the shape of our tail lights thats impossible..

So the only option left is the trunk, but i would like to hear some ideas of how to place it.. i dont want the gas hose to drop gas inside the trunk or things like that..

any input is apreciated..

I just don't think it's good idea to relocate gas door.
Relocating in the trunk is riduculous imo.
I would just leave as it is.

dont' put it in the trunk, another member on here somewhere, put it in the trunk and all the fumes go into the cabin because there are little tubes that circulate the air in the trunk into the cabin...

personally i would just leave it, and shave ur trunk as well

oh, i thought it was not possible because of the shape of our taillights. no angle to open.

do you have pics or remember how they opened?


and shave ur trunk as well
You mean shaving it completly?, i dont feel that look, too plain on the back..


also im gonna do it to my car maybe u should since ur shaving everything lol shave the rain gutters
thats a good idea.. i will, but i would have to relocate them because i usally use them.. but thats easier than relocating a gas hose.

BAD IDEA TO SHAVE RAIN GUTTERS....Whatever you do, don't shave your rain gutters. A lot of people don't know, but the rain gutters on your roof actually serve 2 purposes. 1 obviously is to give a line for the water run. The 2nd reason that not many people know about is that that's the area your upper frame of your car flexes. I was gonna shave that at first when I repainted my car, but my body shop explained that everyone who has shaved that area starts to complain about cracks developing only after a few months.
