Its just as easy and more of a custom job the way I did mione. But like you say "to each his own" I just wanted mine different than what may be what you call the "easy and simple route".

That location looks good until you are gassing it up & those last few drops pee all down the side of the car when you remove the nozzle as it always happens.. thats a lot of run-down surface with that up so high...

Ya treat the gas nozzle like your dick. When it's done pissing, give it a second to make sure its all out. Then pick it up, give it a couple shakes. I tap mine on the edge of the gas hole, to get any hanging gas piss. I then quickly pull away from my car, and put back into its correct spot.

The Sparco locking door runs about 165.00 retail with the funnel...............not that cheap of an add on but I like it and I really wanted something different. When the car is finished it shouild really be sweet. The rings around the door handles are gone, keyholes gone, antenna gone,ring around tag area gone, keyhole in trunk gone, emblems gone,door moldings gone, just a little bit more touchuo work and its ready for paint.
