Default Oh that horrid thunk sound. FML

So, I'm driving down the I-10, car is running great when all of a sudden I hear a big thunk as if something big hit the underside of my car. I continue home since nothing seems to be amiss. Oil pressure and coolant temperature are all optimal so I brush it off.

A few days go by and nothing. Ok, I'm in the clear. So I'm at work and I pop the hood since a customer is interested in what I have done. As I pull the pin to unlock the hood, the customer pops the hood and says "Amazing looking valve covers, where's the oil cap though?"

I raced to the front to see my engine bay at least not speckled with oil but I was definitely missing a damn cap from my brand new Ford Racing valve covers.

I've currently been on the search for the cap or an equivalent screw on. I don't want something cheap looking. I called up ford racing and they sadly don't have the cap anymore nor does American Muscle sell the cap separately from the covers. Couldn't find it on latemodelresto either.

Anyone have any ideas? These are the valve covers and I'm looking for an oil filler cap that looks like that or at least an equivalent that looks just as nice.

I'm guessing the ones with ford racing on them aren't made anymore?

Oh Adder. I knew you'd come. And yes. I did. That damn cap is insanely flipping hard to find. Just wanted to see if anyone had part numbers or something for it.
