Nicer / newer looking oil filler cap?

I just want a nicer looking, more modern oil filler cap for my SBO. I only see O.E. replacement caps, and the March billet tube/cap assembly, which is more than I want to spend( $120). What are you guys using?

I use the chrome one from Summit - cheap and looks good. And stays together and seals, which not all the chrome ones do.

Thanks for that. I may just paint the filler tube to match the engine, and use a chrome cap.
Still looking for ideas...

I really like that idea. MUCH cleaner. I'll seriously consider that.
