Ronal Firehawk Center Cap Mod Ideas

I got my wheels yesterday, and I think they look greay - except for the center cap. I pryed off one of the Ronal caps that is stuck on with some strong a$$ foam stuff. Here are my ideas:

Use a set of 91-92 Camaro center caps (the black part that says 'camaro'). These are sligtly smaller, but I think would look ok. Other caps of this type would work too.

Find generic silver or chrome center caps that are the correct size.

Design a custom center cap out of vinyl. This is my favorite, but I would need something harder to cover the vinyl to make it look good and last longer.

Does anyone know if paint stripper or someting will remove the 'Ronal' logo and leave a clear lens? Any ideas to get this stuff off?

Does anyone know where to get clear lenses or how to cut something clear in a circle?

Just some of my ideas... I'd like to hear some of yours.

Doug

Can't you just buy the SLP centercaps?
Or maybe get the decals from them?
