STOCK:


Chrome Fuel Door:


Black Fuel Door:


Does that answer your question?

Yes, thank you very much. A picture is worth a 1000 words.

I have to say that both Jeep.com and mopar.com are some of the most poorly designed websites I've encountered. When I click on an accessory it doesn't even show a photo.

Is there some other website I can go to that has all of the mopar accessories but isn't such a pain to use?

I can't reveal all of the secrets. It is more than 25% or even 30% though.

I know, I know.....chrome on a jeep is a no no but I'm debating between a chrome or black gas filler door. I don't want to bling out my jeep but I read that the Saharas are going to have a partially chrome front bumper and I was thinking that having just one other chrome accent might tie it together.

The deciding factor is how well that chrome will hold up here on the beach. Chrome does not hold up here do to the salt so anything that is chrome over steel will rust and chromed wheels pit very quickly but I believer the fuel door is aluminum so do you guys think it would hold up well or would it pit as well?

I really wish they had a polished aluminum one.

Unless '08 model is different, the stock bumper doesn't have any chrome... X, Sahara and Rubicon all come with the same plastic bumper.

I don't know if you are getting a soft top (dual top) or what but, if you do, I recommend the soft top boot. It keep the back area neat and gives more space underneath of the soft top. Also, it protect the soft top from UV, dust, rain etc. and keeps the soft top clean.

Yes, the '08's are different and have just the center portion of the front and rear bumper chrome but only on the Sahara.

I was definitely going to get the boot but I need the Flexatrunk more and unfortunately they don't work together.
