I got mine from some outfit in Corona, CA (I can't remember their name though), but I think GAS has them as well (Galpin). The price was around $110. It's pretty cool the way the door opens - one press, and it pops out. If you've seen how some kitchen cabinets work, with a spring loaded latch and a small magnet, you get the idea. My fuel door does not lock, although I do have a locking cap underneath.

I really like this one. How was the install and buying experience with Moss?

I thought Moss was okay, but their shipping charges were way too high considering they are only 100 miles away! I think it was $18 with no option for regular shipping.
They're having a sale right now. The promotional code is:

MUS7HOL

It's the easiest install, which is about the only kind I'm willing to tackle. You just take off the old door. Pry off the cap holder. Install the new door using all 4 holes and play with the nuts and bolts to try to get it flush. My first install wasn't clean so I had to back out the nuts and I attached the gas cap holder to one bolt.
You can see the gap I had there in the photo? It's looking better after I adjusted it. Ford doesn't make the stock hole very round on cars built on Fridays!

I was wondering, with the other cap with no key hole... how does it open? Do you press on the left side? Or is it like those doors in kitchens on boats where you push in and it springs open?

It's like the kitchen doors - you push in, and it springs open. To close, push again, the magnet sticks to the door, and it stays closed.

I can't seem to find them at Moss Mustang. I'd like a gloss finished locking fuel door. They have them with a GT logo but that's all I can find. Can you point me to the item you bought?

No offense, but I'm not about to trust that item on ebay! I'd like to buy from a reputable dealer... black gloss finish locking fuel door.
