Silver Sport Gas Cap (997/996/987/986) - SALE! SKU: 99720198000

Yes it's plastic yes it's expensive yes I like it anyway. If it were metal (there is a company that makes one out of billet aluminum) it would be more likely to damage your paint if you have an accident. There is a Chinese knock-off version sold on Ebay and elsewhere but it DOES NOT fit the 997. It only fits the 991. But they sure look like they came out of the same factory which makes me doubt heavily this one is made in Germany. as they claim

As mentioned by Carl S (Snohomish, WA USA) in his review on April 18th, 2020, the cap is not actually aluminum, it is "aluminum-look" plastic, so it is not as pleasant to manipulate as expected. It is also very expensive for plastic stuff. Nevertheless, I'm happy to have it instead of the ugly basic standard one. All this to explain the 4 stars instead of 5. I installed it on a 997 Carrera and kept the existing pin (the large one) as I dropped the new one and could not find it. Just used a mini screwdriver around the pin to undo the tether and again to insert the new one. I could not figure out how to remove the old big pin anyway.
