Yes, I am thinking of doing that now. Or maybe switch to clear (instead of smoked) plastic.
The original door is in two halves, joined together by screws, sticky tape, and two pop rivets under the Nissan Logo.
It is a small amount of work to separate the two to make the bottom plate ready for this mod.
The bottom plate is irregular with various holes, so I attached a piece of sticky black vinyl to the bottom plate (underneath the license plate) so that it looks better.
The top acrylic sticks up slightly at the bottom (I wasn't able to shape it exactly the same as the OEM lid), but it actually works out well because it makes it easier to grab the edge when opening the door to charge.
