Default More attractive Oil Filler Cap?
I'm upgrading my airbox to a 997.1 3.6 as it looks great, (like what you see below) and wondered if there were any decent looking aftermarket Oil filler caps that look better than OEM, or can a 991 cap be adapted? The 996 OEM one does not even allow the oil logo to be straight.

Thoughts?

Spray paint? Here’s mine. Assuming it’s the original piece. 06/98 build.

I know, I know, the F6 is off by a few degrees!

I didn't have any issue with that but I put the early yellow one back on because it's so much easier to remove and replace.

Thanks...The yellow one looks pretty cool too. For some reason my oil can icon does not sit straight. Was thinking of taking back off of 991 cap and gluing the face to the black 996 one.

I think the 991 cap fits. Ecs tuning sells the 991 cap as an upgrade.

Your engine bay is immaculate! Look amazing. Well done!

Much appreciated and you get a couple dollars off if you buy both the Coolant and Oil cap together. I love carbon.
