Dual-Option Insert Carbon-Fiber Composite Fuel-Filler Door



This fuel-filler door design features inserts of either injection-molded and painted MPPE/PA6 (in black, metallic silver, or red to match body paint) or compression-molded and clear coated carbon fiber-reinforced composite with visible weave. The unique design of the system accommodates either the 2.0 mm-thick injection molded or the 1.0 mm-thick compression molded insert. The specially designed tool enables the Camaro name (with a 0.25  radius) on the fuel-filler door to be painted. Proprietary material is used for the visible-weave carbon composite version and a special clear coat on that insert offers 75% savings.
