To answer your question, no. If you removed the fuel door you will have a liner and no trim to fill the body gap. The style of fuel fill your thinking of is actually a part on it's own. A black liner/bezel replacement without a fuel door. You should be able to pick up one of these off ebay, although I've never looked.

I looked, here is a chrome one.. didn't see any in black

Thanks for the help. I bought an OEM pocket and took the door off last night. Any suggest on how to get the new pocket to turn and lock into place? There is nowhere to grab that thing and for the life of me I cannot get that sucker to turn more than and 1/4" or so.
