I think you meant 2-3 HP.

I rather have the "plastic" one. I would be afraid of scratching or bumping the paint with a heavier metal one.

Porsche should catch up with the rest and have a cap that you can insert the hose nozzle through without having to unscrew anything. My Ford Focus has it (stock on newer Ford products) and it is uber-easy to fill up and I never have to worry about losing anything, scratching the paint, or buying $160 gas caps. The system uses a redundant lock that prevents accidental opening.

How did you remove the tether pin/cap? Looks like some kind of star screw head. I'm working with a 2007 RS. I may just cut it. I probably won't tether the gunmetal one anyway.

Where's the Gas Cap Hinge Painted Ext Color? Where's the Fuel Filler Gasket in matching leather?

It was a pain, but mine came out. I did not tether the new one and I have had Zero issues, I don't think you can forget to put this cap on.

Mine is holding up great.
