I relocated mine purely for the BLING factor

I like the custom look of it and it fit the vision I have for my car. If your handy with bodywork it would be relatively easy to keep it in the factory spot, you'd just need to cut the fender overlay for the door, extend the gas door "hinge" and to make it look really nice build some sort of lip to fill in the gaps between the rear overlay and the factory quarter panel.
