Here at American Muscle, we're all about DIY (do it yourself). Of course, there's nothing wrong with seeking out a little bit of tech help prior to taking on an installation on your own. Our Mustang installation guides will provide valuable instructions and hopefully answer any how-to questions that you may have along the way.
This is one of the more straightforward installs for aftermarket Mustang parts. Four screws off, four screws on. Lets get started. Estimated time of install, 10 minutes, tops!
Your stock fuel door is held on by four screws; two at the hinge, and two in the rubber bumper pieces. Take your screwdriver with your torx bit and unscrew the screws. Take your time when you get down to the last screw, as you do not want to scratch the finish of your car with your fuel door falling off.
Installing Your New Bullitt Fuel Door
Remove the plastic covering from over the door. Unscrew the leftmost two screws and the rightmost two screws. The two screws in the center will not be removed. Take your new fuel door and insert the hinge portion first. Take the two long screws provided and run them into the pre-drilled holes. Use the O-Rings that are provided for these screws and slide them down as far as possible to hold the two screws into place.
Take the two clips that you removed from the right side and slide them into place behind the fuel door. The clips will go over the inside edge of the panel opening. Line the holes up, and screw in the supplied screws. Do this for both the top and the bottom.
Fitment Check
Check to make sure that your fuel door is snugly attached to the body of your car. Driving around with a loose fuel door is NOT recommended, as it is a hazard to other drivers, and can damage your car. If you are hesitant about using the O-Rings to secure the screws, go to your local hardware store and get a small nut to run on the screw. That will firmly hold the fuel door into place.
