2010 Billet Fuel door install
Did this install today in the driveway, thought I'd share some pics! Sorry the car is dirty as usual LOL. Also think I could have took a few more pics along the way but this should help other rookie modders such as myself. Total time took was about half an hour.
Tools Required
1/4" drill bit, 3/8" wrench, 7mm socket / Ratchet, small flat screwdriver, locktight
First drill out the 4 tabs holding the factory plastic in place, sorry I probably should have took a pic while it was still on the car. Its very obvious where you have to drill as the tabs practically have a pilot divot for you. Next use the screw driver in the holes you just drilled to push the tabs holding the old plastic in place then pull the plastic off the capless filler.

Next install the flange gasket around the fuel filler.
BEFORE (darn lots of dirt in there!!!)

AFTER,(It helped to reach up in the wheel well to do this step as its a tight fit)

Next remove the stock door using the 7mm socket, hold onto the door while doing this to avoid it dropping or hitting the quarter pannel.
Now remove the nuts from the new fuel door and remove the outer spacers, put the door in place, put the spacers on, put some locktight on the nuts and install the nuts, tighten and your done!

def67 - If you interested, I'd like to buy your old original fuel door. I'm looking to get SHR quarter window louvers and want them pre-painted. According to SHR, in order to match the color, I need to send them my current fuel door to color match to. I don't want to drive around without one so I would be interested in purchasing your old one. I also have a 2010 Candy Red GT.
PM me if you're interested.
