I need centercaps

I need some 3rd gen centercaps.. specifically, the silver ones that have "Camaro" embossed in them. I dont know which specific cars they came on, but my 92 RS only has one of them :thumbdn:

Anyone have any, or know where I can get some?

*begs and pleads*

Please, anyone have a trace, a hint, a clue of where I may find some? I've been looking everywhere with no results... there arent any salvage places located convientently in relation to me, and any place with F-bodies laying around have probably been picked clean anyways.

I really want these centercaps.. they will be the crowning touch on my car's exterior.

Thirdgen Resource (banner at the top of the page) carries them, different colors, styles, etc. not too bad of a price either. Or you could always check ebay

Nope, thats not them either

I will try my very best to describe them.. damn me and my lack of a digital camera.

They are about 3 inches in diamater, and about 2 inches in length. The sides are black, and the center (the part facing outwards) is silver, possibly nickle plated, but Im not sure. They have the word Camaro embossed on them, as the same color as the rest of the cap. (Silver)

Could they be stock centercaps? The thought had crossed my mind, but i've never seen them before except on my car.

Actually now that I think about it, that does look like mine, only mine is silver. Could mine have just worn down to silver, or was there another color?

i'm pretty sure they were all black and they could have worn down on yours. If your rims are 16" rims then those are the only centercaps made for them, as fo the color i'm pretty sure those were the only ones

you could always just spray them with a silver color, or try to polish that part of the center cap
