I'm currently looking for a gas cap for my Firebird -74 but I have a hard time to decide...
The reason I'm replacing the one behind the licence plate is because the ATL cell sits higher than the stock tank. Therefore I need to place something on the quarter panel or in the lid (like the porsche below)

A nice example on cap installed on the fender is this Camaro;

No matter what cap I decide to go with, it'll be recessed into the body
What I would really really like to have would be this kind of cap, however dry break systems are quite hard to use on street cars. lol

So... what should I choose of the ones below?
1: A plain air tank cap. I'm allergic to the ones with visible fasterners so this is the one...

2: I know it's 60s... It looks good, but I think my car will be considered too "new" to make it fit nicely... Maybe I'm wrong though

3: Same manufacturor as the nascar dry break system above. As close to a dry break system as I'll probably can come in looks;
