The one from Porsche is neither. It is exactly as the OP descibes it: metal shell over plastic with metal screws holding it together. I am not guessing here about this either.

It is a nice and thoughtful gift. Waste of money? Please...are we going there, really?

Heh, the funniest quote of the thread! Well said.

Now, some of you are concerned about the cost of a gas cap for $100.00.
Let's all take a deep breath and wish this true enthusiast a happy birthday.

I think it's the only state that still mandates an attendant operate the pump.

To the Op....nice !
No sillier than any Porsche leather option (from a guy that bought the cow)
