Take the old on off, screw the new one in.

You take it off and put it back on everytime you put gas in your car.

Just playing. The "cord" is held the the door hinge with a regular clip. Use needle nose pliers to squeeze the sides from the back and pop it right out.

just thought it might enhance the car aesthetically.

So you're going to replace the gas cap that is covered by a body color matched lid for... aesthetics?

Think about it man.

i mean its your car so do what ever you want, but wouldn't doing something to the door covering it make more sense.
