To each his own but I don't understand the need for that piece. It's so convenient not having a cap anymore. Millions of vehicles are on the road with no cover and with no issues.Got this today from Amazon for $15, it has the ring around the neck so it hangs there while filling up.

The items I added are functional and for a look I wanted. A gas cap serves no function. More of an inconvenience if anything but 'whatever floats your boat'.
The function of the gas cap is to make me happy, and it does. It's hardly an inconvenience to flip it on and off. And yes, "my boat is floated". Sorry that my plastic cap bothers you so much. ... ?The items I added are functional and for a look I wanted. A gas cap serves no function.

Finally got a chance to install the rear sway bar. In theory it's a super easy install. In reality, getting the oem bar out and the steeda bar in is a real PITA; unless you disconnect the drive shaft. I decided to leave the drive shaft alone. Several hours later, after lots of hand nicks, some sledge hammering, metal on metal surface damage and lots of four letter words, I was able to get the steeda bar on. The geometry of the bar and the tight space is just a bad combo. Thank goodness the bar is under the car and not visible because it definitely no longer looks new. Alas, I got it installed and will update you once I take it for a test drive. Here are some before and after shots, whatever I could manage anyway.
Youch. Sounds painful. Glad you got it in before having to take out the shaft. Here's hoping the drive is better with all the effort you put in!Finally got a chance to install the rear sway bar.

They appear to be the same diameter. Is the Steeda supposed to be stiffer or softer?Finally got a chance to install the rear sway bar. In theory it's a super easy install.

The heat shield has very sharp edges
I noticed that as well. It's supposed to be stiffer but the biggest change is the ability to change the end link position on the steeda bar. I'm guessing it increases stiffness due to increased resistance of the bar thus reducing twisting on the bar itself and thus less movement in rear wheels relative to each other.
For a minute there I thought this might be another part Ford left off to save money.Got this today from Amazon for $15, it has the ring around the neck so it hangs there while filling up.

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but could you please take some more pictures of this? Most specifically, from the outside and from the hatch. I think this looks likes it fits my needs but I’m having a hard time visualizing from this pic.Installed HRG molle panel. Easy install and seems pretty solid
Awesome! Which wiring harness did you end up installing?Hitch wiring finally arrived & installed - so added a 4th brake light - lights up for brake - 4 way - turn signals and park lights.
