Need vented gas cap but can't find one... help

Hi,
I've been everywhere looking for a vented gas cap. Does anyone know where I can buy one online? Is the stant "pre-vent" cap really vented? I've been to every store and no one carries that model for our cars. I need one ASAP.
thanks
Craig

Deemed illegal. I got one. J-Yard had a bunch and since I got them off a 3rd gen they can't be all that bad


Just unscrew then and look at the center of the inside. You can't really see the diff from the outside.

I beieve mine is white plastic with a green center plastic relief.
