It was a PITA because you have to attached 5 very small nuts to it on the inside of the fender. I had to pull the wheel well and the black plastic trim below the door to get to them. There was no way I was going to be able to get my hand in there to get the 5th one though. If I had taken the fender off it probably would have been fairly easy but looking at the clips that hold it on there I was not sure how they worked and didn't want to break any of them. Nice thing is you don't have to drill any holes but it was a real b!tch

I installed my Predator Fuel door Saturday and I have to say that it was cake walk all the way up to the last step . Tightning the screws was a task, but I got it. Oh, the retainer clips on the inside fender are easy to remove and can be re-used no problem. Use a flat head screw driver and pop the top part of the clip out(there is a groove for this) slide the top part of the clip out a hair and the whole clip will drop out....same concept as the drywall anchor. These are not like the old clips where you pull them out and the plastic teeth break and you have to buy new ones. I will post some pics to show it soon. There is a slight gap on top between the fender and the fuel door even after all the screws are tight. Use a little bit of black latex caulk to go around the fuel door (easy clean up with latex) - looks professional.

Even though this fuel door might be a little harder to install, I think that it is great looking and well worth the time and money. I picked mine up on ebay for around $130.
