First you need to take the gas cap and tail light assembly off then pry the rubber seal on the filler neck to unseat it.

after reading that, i decided to order the black appearance group. i wanted side steps anyway, so i guess the tail light guards are a bonus.

ok Just installed mine on my 08. Mine is a two door but I bought the 4 door one off ebay. The only think I noticed different was there is a plastic point that sticks out thats supposed to go in a hole on the body to jeep the door from spinning or moving. On mine its at 12 oclock. Well on the new one its at 9 0clock. So I had to cut that off. Other then that it fits great. I think I might put a dab of black silicone aroung the ring to keep it still, and help since it doesn't have the black point anymmore.

Default I have the black replacement screws available...

Didn't hear of anyone having any more of the black replacement screws for the fuel door available. I ordered the same screws mentioned prior in this thread. They are black aluminum M5 x .8 x 12mm. They will have to be shortened to 6mm to be usable..couldn't find any shorter to match the "stock" screws. In any case, I have six sets available. I do not have access to accept Paypal so we will have to make other arrangements for reimbursement of costs, around $2.65. PM me if you want a set.

Definately worth the hassle in the end. just pay attention to the notes above about bending the sheet metal
