Ok I got me new Mazda Fuel door today. As i promised I will show you the install

Noo the Center does not open :P


heres the car before

 

Next I have taped over the finish to protect it

 

Now remove the gas cap and take the screws out of the filler neck, remove the OEM door.

 

attach the top screw into the new door. Loosly fit the door into the opening. once you have checked that the door will close and be alligend in the middel of the opening you can tightin the screws

 

Close the new door and confirm the alignment before final tighting

 

reattach the filler neck screws and enjoy :

Looks Great, thanks for the step by step. I've been thinking hard about getting one of those for my Titanium.

Thanks Again!

 

its very easy only took me about 15 mins .. I have seen the satin finish.. and my chrom now theres a perl to ,, I tink i like mine the best thow .. it ties in the exhust finishers i installed..

Now i am installing the lighted shift ****. ill post those next.

GO for it get the darn thing

 

Is there any trick to be careful of, to make sure the door release mechanism still works? Last thing I want to do is end up with a door that won't open...

PS> It looks sweet. This, plus strakes, are the two "mods" I want to do, and given the step-by-step I've seen here, I think I actually have the courage to do it myself! (Step one: Buy a screwdriver... Step two: Go back and buy the correct SIZE screwdriver... )

 

Mod, toss this into the DIY section, nice work.

 

no its really easy.. the release mec does not change at all.. you just take out the two screws the hold the door hing on the car..

It is very easy just make sure you tape over the paint with good painters tape.. the blue or green kind

 

fuel door open Notice the latch mec is on the car not the door .

 

same thing diffrent angle

again the mec is not moved or touched.. just the door .. there is no reason anyone cant do this install in 20 min's alone.

you need on 8 mm socket. some blue painters tape. good luck

 

nice

 

looks sharp on the blue

 

Looks great, and a nice DIY to boot! Well done, thew! :D

 

Could someone post a pic of the door on a titanium? Thanks for the D.I.Y.

 

Smokin'! Thanks for the pics.
