Don't have my own pix at office, but here's what I use. Just a cover, you retain stock gas cap below. Easy install. Sure it will leak water but stock tray and drain line around cap should work well enough, at least in CA. About $100 ebay or local Dodge dealer.
Ebay cap

Howard,

Does your cover have a cable release to open it or is it a pressure type closure?

Cool cap Jeff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I don't mind much opening up the trunk. You get looks from people.

On the other hand, I have been thinking about taking a 911 gas door and finding some way to install it on a 914. I think the 914 gas tank is too high for something like that? Maybe why the factory didn't do it?

Neither. Pic doesn't show it well, but there's a little indent to put your finger in to open. Very similar ones on Mustangs, F150's, even Mitsu Eclipse. Go by a dealer and look.
