The only issue is when I pull the nozzle out, the last few drips always get on the paint due to the tilt (or lack of) but thats with all my cars. Just a couple shakes and it solves that issue 

 

My wife's car (2013 model) has a sticker on the gas door that says "wait 5 seconds before removing nozzle". Oddly enough, this works every single time.

So i can hardly see the back side of full install but from what i see laying here ( 4 holes in my Mazda unit) i assume you re-drilled or used self taping screws  to match the holes already in car and plate that was cut down from OG inlet??

Yup, haven't had an issues myself either since I've done this.  Nice not having fuel on the side of the my.

 

My only problem  isn't related to the filler neck.  Can't fill my tank up too much or fuel seeps out of the welds where the fuel pump was welded in at.   Need to take it out and reseal the tank.
