I think that Chinese cap will help you guys turn right. But, it might fight ya little on those left-handers. FYI.

Genuine
1. No molded branding/symbol stamped on bottom
2. Date code stamped into bottom side that should close to date on label on box (OEM cap has this too)
3. Wire looking things around circumference on inside bottom
4. Box label on front/top of box inside of long side (unconfirmed)
5. Includes black decal about fuel (unconfirmed Chinese version does not have this, but not pictured in any ads)
6. Packaging, cap comes in bubble wrap pouch, other parts come in OEM style zip lock bag, knock off comes cap in sealed bag, tethers in sealed bag.

Personally I don't like this fake aluminium piece. Looks tacky IMO.

I don't get it. Porsche calls it "aluminum look," but it sure looks and feels like real aluminum to me.

I have one of the Chinese ebay versions if someone wants it. Doesn't fit my 997. $60 plus shipping and it's yours. You can save a few bucks and eliminate the shipping time from China.
Thanks

Anyone purchase the eBay version have any issues after installing the cap? Ex: CEL or poor seal?
