Removing OEM Chrome Fuel door

[IISPEEDYII]

So I did some searching and I couldn't find anything on here in regards to a write up of how to do this but I bought a Realwheels fuel door off of a user on here and theres finally some nice weather in the area today and tomorrow and I kinda wanna get the door on. Anyone know how to get the stupid chrome door off? Just as an FYI only two of the allen screws still have heads left on them so does this mean I'm just gonna have to break it off?

Removed mine last fall and had to drill the heads off of two or three of the allen bolts. GM used aluminum bolts secured into steel stake nuts (= chemical bonding). Once I did that I replaced the OEM bolts with stainless 10-24 allen bolts and the stake nuts with speedclip nuts. I did need to modify the clipnuts by shortening the part beyond the nut so it would'nt stick out past the trim ring though.

Thank you! And I know! Such a stupid move. I actually kinda did it by trial and error with a screw driver. My gas tank lid was only being held on by the metal clips that keep the outer lid on, not the sleeve, all of those clips were broken off when I pryed the whole thing off if that makes sense. The new door looks wayyyy better than that crappy chrome one. But I need some 3m tape to finish the job so I'll pick that up today.
