I think I was one of the first to get the Mazda gas door.it was released may 3rd I have to say I was some what disappointed with the design.It was not as it appeared in the photos. the fit is poor.
anyway it is a mazda part and for all those talking about the fuel needs it is labeled just like the original use high octane only.

still I wish they could have made it more like the pictures they promoted. like a motorcycle cap not just a door to the plastic cap.

I guess after looking at it all day I'll leave it on.

Doesn't look much like min...

Got it from Canzoomer, looks like alloy, but is 100% stainless steel.

this is a pic of the mazda door they promoted for the last 6 months. it is not what Mazda is selling!!

and for all interested the cheapest price I have found is at Rosenthal Mazda for 84 bucks.
too bad for me I preordered it in January from mazdastuff in Huston TX for $125 as canzoomer and japan parts.com wanted over 200 for what is not a Mazda part(really don't care about it being oem) but I thought it would be like the miata part maybe even nicer........anyway here's the pic of what they said I was buying

Well,your fuel door's not round,that should have been the first hint,but I can see where you're upset....
