Default Fuel door trim ideas?

Guys I need your input. I want to trim the Chrome fuel door on my 08 Ultra, but I'm not sure of exactly what I want. I'd like to go with something a little different. Kinda like the standard Harley gold flame trim, but would rather find something a little more different.
I've been checking into hydro-dipping it, but can't really find a design I like.
If you guys have any ideas especially pictures of what you have or have seen it would be much appreciated.
I realize some of you guys don't want someone copying what you've done, and that's cool, but any ideas would be appreciated. Bike is Copperhead Pearl/Red Hot. I kinda like the flame theme, but open to about anything that pops.

There are guys out there that do lazer etching on them, seen there ad in Thunder press one Idea. I struggled with the samething I have the flame theme also I went with the H-D bar and sheild logo. Wife happened to buy it for me and I actually do really like it.

check out www.tattooyourchrome.com laser etching and a process called ghosting. Haven't done it yet but planning too when funds are available. They can do anything, pics, symbols

First thing that I'd do is get rid of that stupid Harley lock. I replaced mine with the smooth push button. Makes life easier espesally with gloves. Somes times I put my gas money under the cover. Makes it easier to find when I get to the station.

+1 on the push button. Replaced mine a couple months ago. No need for a lock, anyone can open the lid without the key anyway.

This thread is awfully short on PICS. Anyone have pics of what they've done?

why would anyone want to change the looks of the fuel door? It's great as it is for the poser to use as a mirror and check his poser self without an obvious glance it the side mirrors - I thought every one knew that
