Optional OEM Fuel Door

[syj]

Does anyone have installation instructions for the optional oem fuel door for the 2012 Camaro SS? I think the part number is 92212671.

Just a couple of screws.

Curious about the locking fuel door with "CAMARO" on it. Seen it on several sites, like the link below . Anyone have one? Happy with it?

I had a Defenderworx one. Didn't like how it broke up the rear quarter panel (cleanness wise)

I changed mine, not a locker though...just be careful taking off the old one...I'm sure there's a DIY on here somewhere...Its comes off a lot easier than you might think...

I was thinking functionality. In other words, keeping some scumbag from stealing my gas or worse.

I've seen plenty of pics of other Camaros that have them and they look good, usually.

Yes it works. But you can also go to your local Auto Zone and get a locking gas cap. $8 vs $180

Like your logic.

yep. I had a locking fuel door and then realized I could sell it and just buy the $8 gas cap.

I was told that, with todays newer vehicles, they are virtually siphon proof. I know I tried to siphon some gas out of my wifes '06 Trailblazer and the hose wouldn't go down the filler neck. Kept hitting some kind of obstruction.

If that's the case, then purchasing a locking gas cap or a locking fuel door would just be a waste of money.

The original fuel door pulls right off with just a quick tug and the optional GM fuel door slides right on in its place.

There is a locking pin on the bottom side of the optional fuel door you push in to lock it into place, preventing theft.

I bought one for each of my Camaros and had them painted satin black to match my stripes.

HATED the Defenderworx ones. They didn't fit right and required cutting away part of the fuel door arm.

Not so much as to keep gas from leaving but to keep jealous people/idiots from putting something into the tank.

Dont have the locking one, just the optional OEM one. Theres just a little pressure tab on it, lift the tab, it slides right off. Attached the original picture of it.. but I didnt dig the metal finish, and it didnt go well with my color scheme, so.. plasti-dip to the rescue!!
