Is it something you can grind?

BOOM!!!!!

from what I heard you have to swap the doors them selves, not the hinge...

I swapped door and hinge on mine,.. the arm hits the plastic inside..... The whole plastic interior of the gas door has a little lip that keeps attached to the car, i got under it with a flat head screwdriverand popped it in,.... then your door will lay all the way down,.... the only part of the lip that I kept in place was the part with the rubber door stops. kinda ghetto,.. but works until you get around to cutting that plastic,.. and the above statement is kinda hard to understand,.. but I wasted all this time writing it so I am leaving it, but if you need a pic or something ,... let me know

i know where it hits. i was thinking you might of cut the cup a little to make it fit. also, the hing is the same. a pic would be nice. im gonna try to see if i can get it on today. thanks.

well, i got it to fit. wasnt hard at all but took 2 hours. fits good except when you look at it from the top, you can see it stickin out a little. i will be fixing that problem soon but i snapped a quick pic of how it looks.

no offence.. I dont like it.

Yeah, grind it right on the fuel door arm.

I'm newer to 2GN, but I'm not totally stupid.
