Default Custom gas cap

About Three years ago someone gave me a place to buy a beautiful aluminum gas cap for a 993.
When I sold my last 993 I did not remember to keep it.
Any help in tracking down these caps would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

So the one linked for $108 USD is it vented? I thought I read someplace that these were not good for our cars for some reason...

I think it's a bit modern for our era. But it's cool. However in NJ the only one fiddling w it will be the greasy handed pump jockey...

i dont see using a non-vented gas cap as a good idea though?

The 993 has a vented tank with an expansion tank, cant see a non vented cap being a problem

What's wrong with the original? The only time you see it is when you're fueling the car (or at a Concour during judging). The rest of the time the filler door is closed. Not getting it...

$160 gas cap. Wow. How much for a matching washer fluid cap? $90?
