Default Fuel cover door change?

How hard is it to change out the fuel cover door for one of those after market ones?

I looked at the factory one, and there seems to be 2 screws that holds the door and hinge assembly together.

Just take those out and throw the new one in?

It's very, very eazy to do. No drilling and two to three screws and its done.

Something like that. I think it's 2 or 3 screws, but I am not positive.

Does it become harder to get the gas pump handle in with the ring added to the billet doors? It looks like it makes the opening smaller so I was wondering if it becomes more cramped putting the nozzle in.

Yea it does make the opening smaller but you won't have a problem filling up.

I found a PDF online and printed it out.

Now, I just gotta find a pic of someone with a Vapor gray Mustang with one of these things installed - so I can decide what color and if I want one at all.

I have the SHR Black Billet Aluminum Fuel Door with magnetic latch. It was real easy to install (about 15 mins) and looks great. Absolutely no problem filling up...!!
