use the tow hook cover off the front or rear bumber- whole lot easier than trying to take the filler door cover off...

Why don't you just get the color number off the sticker inside the drivers door so they can mix off the number that will match perfect?

Color code is hit and miss. It usually will not match exactly. Bring them a sample and they can computer match it dead on.
