Here is one that I know of off the top of my head. There could be one out there cheaper than this one though. Happy surfing.

Not only the black one... all of those fuel doors are ugly.
The JDM version is still the best IMO... the ones Rosenthal and Trussville sell are OK too - but these...

mikeb has one - he posted a pic a while ago, you'll find it via searching.
I have one as well, but have no picture of it. I'll see if I can make a photo; my car is titanium grey too.

Unfortunately, they are the most expensive and just a few vendors sell them because they are import items.

JDM fuel door pics

Here you go...
This door is all metal vs. the one that's available as original Mazda part in the US. That one has only 6 bolts around the edge and the bracket that holds it is plastic.

I can add that the JDM version is excellent quality - I purchased one myself last year for $200 plus. I never cared for the US version too much.

I got mine via a trade - but CanZoomer sells these for 205 US dollars. There might be other dealers who have it, I'm not sure.

Holy thread revival Batman! lol

Where'd you get that CF fuel lid?
Does it retain the use of the stock bracket or does it have its own?

Dont take this the wrong way....but i think the CF fuel lid doesnt really match the Titan...
