WTB set of WS6 caps for my 91 GTA WS6, just curious if i should try and hunt down an original used set or go with a new set of reproduction caps. My car is all original except for the steering wheel, but i noticed the center caps on my GTA have the firebird emblem & not WS6?

Did you look into something like these?

These, I guess have GM's Blessing.

91 GTA should have gold WS6 caps. Gold birds are correct for 87 and early 88 GTA. If you buy the right ones I would be interested in buying your gold birds because originals were stolen. I am located in Ontario, please send PM if you wish to sell.


Thanks.

I removed my factory ones and replaced them with after market in case they get damaged or stolen while out and about enjoying a flight in the bird.

I've looked at those & also the WS6 emblem sets are available with no caps. Just have to silicone/glue the new emblems to the old caps! It would be cool to keep the original caps & just install new WS6 emblems, but those reproductions look damn nice too!!
Any 90-92 GTA owners with original firebird caps mounted from factory & not WS6??

There are definitely subtle differences that allow you to determine real or fake. But the repro's are darn good, good enough for what I wanted to use them for.

I think they are the same people! (the site I posted and yours) their both out of S. Carolina, coincidence, maybe, Both companies ship free world wide and the one posted is $24.00 Cheaper

No ebay listing ships free to Canada! Every set of caps I've seen on ebay is around $69US and wants atleast $30-35 USPS Shipping to Canada and some quotes are higher than that.
The fbodywarehouse link does show free shipping US & Canada, but the price is $93.99 US.

$68 dollars is a great price for Ws6 caps with everything being a fortune today.

Congrats! Nice score, great condition for originals!

I had bought NOS caps and emblems several years ago but ending up selling them when I lost a job. Then a couple years ago I bought the reproductions that have the GM Restorations Parts approval sticker on them. The reproduction caps seem good enough, but the colour of the gold lettering on the emblems I think is terrible. When seen without another gold emblem next to them, they are not nearly gold enough IMO. At first I thought the seller had sent me silver emblems by mistake but after putting it next to my originals, I realized they were a tiny bit gold. Get what ya pay for haha!
