Default OEM Porsche Aluminum Gas cap

Looking to pick one of these up and seeing a decent disparity in price. From US dealers price is about $150 +/-

There are some China sellers with them for about $80. Anyone have one of the ones from China? They claim they are OEM but my alarm bells are going off

Any of you 1 of the 9 that have purchased this?

I bought an OEM one but would definitely get one of these if I was in the market.

If you are worried about it being too cheap, you can always pay more here, lol

Glue the "aluminum" cap to your existing cap.

That would be funny as they are pretty literal unlike the Germans.

Just get the real one instead of the Chinese knock off. I’ve had mine for more than 4 months now, and no issues with CEL lights.

That's what paint is for.

Come to think of it, I would not buy one if they were $10 since that has to be the biggest waste of money I have seen to be spent on these cars. If it was exposed as on some Mopars I might consider it but it isn't.
