Installed fancy fuel cap

Yes, I know the price is ridiculous for a fuel cap but I love how it looks.

That does look nice! Not to be a nosey bugger (OK, I'm being nosey!), but how much did that set you back?

No problem! It cost me $152.47 including shipping from Sunset. One thing to keep in mind that took me by surprise, is the fact that the fuel cap is still made out of plastic. Porsche calls it "Aluminum look" which is something that I didn't pay enough attention to before buying it.

Regardless, I'm very happy with how it looks

Gorgeous. Had the exact same setup on my -09 C4S except P40's. The one and only thing I don't care for on the GTS is the wimpy OEM wheel offsets that can't be fixed with spacers but require after market wheels. Looks like HRE nailed it for you. Nice and flush.

Mine came with it. Nice touch that makes me smile every time I fill up.

Did an oil change. Loving my Quickjack. Yes you can do a change without jacking up the car but this made it really easy. Also verified that the iCarsoft POR I I will reset the oil service. You put in the date of service so you could back date it to get a less than 2yr service notification. I didn't.

Looked at the engine and admired it from up close. Gotta get it back in the car.
