When I was ordering my car, the SA recommended it and thought it looked real cool. I agreed but said it was too much. He surprised me with the aluminum (look) gas cap and clear side markers for N/C when I picked up my car. I have to admit that I like it and think it was an appropriate, much appreciated gift from my dealer.
Oh and he picked up a track day for me.

It is..quite solid. The OEM leash doesn't fit it but is easily removed and/or duplicated if one wants. See attached.

Just ordered one. Gunmental is available now. Here's a 10% off coupon code until the EOM: CGU110831064517. Will work for the Silver one as well but those are back ordered right now.

USMC...where you find the coupon? Dayum ordered mine 2 weeks ago and put it on my C4S this weekend when I did my racing pedals. Got the gunmetal one too as I think it blended with the Meteor Gray better than the silver one. Its a great little add on.

Here you go... I used 1/16" cable and a few cable sleeves from Home Depot. Keep the leach the same length as the original rubber leach to keep it from banging again the paint when I have it draped on the gas door hanger hook.

For $160 that cap had better be made of titanium, never mind aluminum.
Its ridiculous alum-look? Yeah, you mean silver paint. I was actually surprised to find out that Porsche's aluminum looking bits in the car were not aluminum but rather paint, the same with some of the wood bits as well.
For the kind of coin these cars charge it should be real metal and real wood. Hey if VW can afford to put real metal bits on the interior of the GTI, Porsche can certainly afford to do it.

Oohrah mdrobc... I pounded dirt in Pendleton. BTW, my older boy was just sworn into the NROTC (Marine Option) program last month at A&M. He'll be going to OCS next summer. Proud moment for my wife and I. She was 5 months pregnant with him when I was activated for Desert Storm One 20 yrs ago.
