Default Fuel Door Assy

Hey, i was wondering how easy it is to remove the fuel door assembly? Reason i ask is because my car just got sideswiped while i was eating lunch with the wife.. They tore the gas door off and bent the hinges backwards while leaving minor scratches between the taillight and fuel door.

The car is a 2002 Trans am Ws6. and this is the 3rd time already someone has hurt it.. First time, it got keyed i guess out of jealousy.. second time it got doored. Meaning someone opened their door into my car while i was driving down a narrow street hitting my driver side door... i guess its just a bad luck streak.. and i really hope my bad luck is over because its expensive!! /rant.

If you are just talking about the door, there are 2 screws holding it on.
