What I find humorous about the standard 991 gas cap is that the one cap that a new 911 customer uses on a regular basis looks and feels like something out of a 20yo Pontiac, while two caps that the average customer never interacts with, for oil and coolant, not only look really nice but can be seen by other motorists whenever the rear spoiler is up because they're shiny silver—where they'd just fade away if they were black.
Srsly. I Just went out to the garage to remind myself how pitiful this thing looks.
Got mine from Suncoast and I love it. Only Rennlisters (like us) would have a problem with it.
I saw it on a GT3 Touring build sheet, and I feel like if it’s good enough for the GT3 it’s good enough for my C2S. Makes me smile every time I pop the gas door.
So is it too cheap or too expensive? From this thread it seems like both? Some don’t like the look, and some think it’s too expensive - so we should get a Chinese knock off? 😂
Just received my Chinese OEM gas cap, ordered on EBay, $65, delivered 12 days after purchase. Looks like they are Porsche’s supplier, the box has the factory bar code and part #, covered with a blank label that you can see under, and inside there is a Porsche insert. Cap also included a new tether.

Don't underestimate China's ability to knock a product off. They go the extra mile. It's "fake" 100%.

I dont think they are fake. Although i know some good "fake" stuff can come out of china, it's likely one of the products Porsche outsources to China to make. They have been on ebay for a long time and ebay is very hardcore about counterfeit products. Suncoast has the alum look ones for $99 now, so paying $65-$75 on ebay isnt far off. I would bet any "differences" between some from a Porsche dealership and the ebay China units can be attributed to variations over the years/ different factories.

It’s fake. The real caps are made in Germany. Suncoast is moving new old stock at a discount because of the new cap.
