How much and is it metal or plastic? $200 wouldn't surprise for plastic.

Looks good but no go for me and I'm as irrational about my Porsche purchases as the next fanatic.

Hey sand, love your avatar. Saw same ride in Vancouver dt a month ago. In motion that rear looks incredible.

I had to draw the line, so I went with the other guys. CNC machined aluminum. Custom tether.

love that, but I had done the whole modding thing with my BMWs and really wanted to stay 100% Porsche on this car.

I like the way it looks but the first time you drop that heavy beast gas cap on the side of your car you guys will be kicking yourselves. It is probably safer to untether it and sit it on the pump while you are getting petrol. I'm sticking with the plastic.

How much horsepower does the gas cap mod add?

Take a quick trip to NJ. You can pick these up all day long for very cheap:

No way would I ever put metal in that location. I'll admit the fake aluminum looks nice but you only see it for 60 seconds every week or so, and for $170 for this is crazy. #fail.
