Product Description
Nissan Altima Coupe 2007-2012 Polished Gas Door Cover (GC27558)
Own the two-door Altima? GC27558 is the coupe version of the Altima gas door trim, listed for the 2007-2012 Nissan Altima 2-door coupe. For this Altima, it's one polished piece of 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. For mounting, this Altima piece relies on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Coupe, not sedan
The sedan has its own listing, GC27550. This one, GC27558, is listed only for the 2-door coupe. The catalog doesn't say how the two pieces differ in shape, so order by body style.
Not a replacement cap
This is the Altima coupe trim, and it is not a replacement cap or part; the 2007-2012 two-door needs its existing gas door to take GC27558.
Fitment
Nissan Altima, 2007-2012, 2-door coupe. One row; the Fitment tab has it.
What's listed for the coupe
Most of the Altima trim on this sheet is listed for the 4-door sedan: the fog light trim FV27550, the pillar sets PP27550 and PP27551, the rear deck accent RD27550 and the plate bezel LP27550. For the coupe specifically, PP27558 is a two-piece pillar post set. WP27558 also appears on the sheet; its page will show which body it's for. TH27550, TH27551, TH27552, WP27550 and WQ27550 are listed as well.
So if you're planning a matched coupe set, the gas door and the two-piece pillar trim are the clearly coupe-specific pieces. Call to confirm anything else.
Attachment
On the coupe, the piece sits right over the current gas door, and nothing gets drilled. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no damage to the vehicle's surface.
Before installing
Look at the paint on the fuel door. Chips, fading, or lifting clear coat should be fixed first, because the adhesive bonds right to it. Confirm the door latches and sits flush.
Steps
Start with soap and water and a rinse, then a degreaser wipe. Let it dry. Hold the trim against the closed door, liner on, and nudge it until the visible paint around it is equal on all sides; a helper standing back makes this easier. Mark the spot with painter's tape on the body. Peel and press firmly across the whole face, then again after a minute. Open the door slowly to confirm it clears. The Installation tab has full instructions.
Finish
Polished 304 stainless has a bright, reflective surface. 26 gauge is a thin sheet, so the overlay sits low on the door.
Install day and upkeep
Choose mild, dry weather and keep it dry overnight. Clean with gentle soap and a soft cloth; wipe away fuel splashes.
Why the gas door first
It's one flat piece with no partner piece, so it's the simplest polished accent to install well. Doing it before the pillar trim gives you a feel for the peel-and-press routine and a preview of the finish on your coupe's paint.

Installation tips: Gas Door Cover Trim
- Confirm your vehicle still has its original gas door. This trim mounts over it and does not replace it.
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
