Depends on what you buy, some are the whole assembly and some are stuck on by adheasive. I made mine out of aluminum with the dodge logo and stuck it on using 3M adheseive.

I want to get those halo lights too, but im not spending 150 on them, i just got headlight covers and I think I like the look of that more.

It's uber easy. All you need is some simple tools: A 3/8 ratchet, a 4mm allen wrench, and a T30 torx bit. Took me five minutes to install the cover shown in the howto below.

How much does that door cost and how well does it stay closed when being rattled around off-road?

The price varies, up to around $100 w/o shipping. I had been on the lookout for that part number (82207715), and was able to pick up a new one on E-bay for $69 shipped. Not sure how it does off-road since I have a street queen, but it's spring loaded, like stock, and snaps shut tightly.

Is that the price for a cover that fits on your existing, or an actual replacement fuel door.
