A Fuel Filler Door self installable?

Just got my fender strakes on from the great help on here and i want to buy a OEM Mazda Chrome fuel door but just woundering if it is easy to put in myself, the pic only shows 2 screws so i would think it is but just asking. Thank you

If you want to be super careful...tape around the opening of the filler door with masking tape before you install...then you have pretty much a zero chance of scratching the paint. Put the piece on slightly loose...and close the door to adjust..then carefully open and tighten it up tight...

Yeah, totally easy (just like the strakes, lol). Once you start on it, just read the instructions, take note of how things go together as you dismantle it, and you'll have no trouble.
