It's probably a good thing you just lost that auction. You can buy those centercaps plain for I believe $20 a set which comes to less than $30 shipped. And then the outlined SS decals are $15.

You buy the blank centercaps from SLP www.slponline.com (you may need to call them for these) . The $15 SS centercap outlined decals I can make for you if you'd like. I've got some details about this here...

If those are going for more than $40 on eBay, it looks like I should put up some eBay auctions. LOL!

What I have on there now are the center caps with ss on them in like a silver or white color. Are those the ones your talking about? If not, can i just put the stickers over the ss that is already on there. Or, what do you recommend? Thanx.

If you already have the centercaps you can most likely remove the SS that is on there. I definitely wouldn't get new centercaps if you don't actually need them. So, all you really want to do is change the color of the SS?

My sister has a 2000 SS and her centercaps are like just a hairline outline of the SS and that's it. Are yours the same? I could make her some and see what I need to do to remove the SS or if the new SS decal will fit over it adequately. I can look into that for ya if you have a similar SS centercap as hers.

Sorry about the pic its not a very good one. But if you look close at a few of these pics, you'll see the centercaps. I have the chrome wheels and like the ones in the pic it is black. But my wheels are exactly like the ones in the pics. Thanx.

Yep, those are the same wheels as my sister has. I'll see if what I have will coverup what is already there.

I tried it for you and no go The SS on the factory centercap is pretty big and the design I have is the same or too close to the same size as the factory design. It would be too difficult to cover-up the factory SS with vinyl. You'll need to remove the factory SS first and then it would work. I looked at my sisters and it looks to be a very thin layer of paint. Some rubbing alcohol might remove it with no problems but not sure. My sister had to leave and I didn't have time for me to make her all new centercap decals. LOL! If you can get the SS off, let me know. That'll be better than buying new centercaps!

I have the "5 star" centercaps that came with my Z06 rims. I was looking at these centercaps and they look like they will fit in the circle whole that is under the "5 star" centercap I have. Can anyone tell me where I can get the circle centercaps from? Thanks
