step 1: find fellow Eclipse in mall parking lot
step 2: grab your wrench, open gas door, unscrew 1 screw
step 3: go home, install newly-found screw, done...

JK of course... take one off, go to your local hardware store and find the matching one... or find out exactly what size it is, and order some color-matching ones online (no idea from where, but i'm sure you could...)

They're nothing but like 8mm allen screws that are held on with a small nut on the back of the fuel door. Go to a local junkyard and snag one off a wrecked Eclipse.

That or go to an industrial hardware store with one you removed from the car and walk around and compare bolts until you find the right one. They're really not that hard to find. I've had to replace like 3 of them.
