I was stripping down my rims and the person who was helping lost or threw away one thinking it was a beer can. That person will most likly pay for that cap.

You may be in luck. I got my center caps from a place here in dallas. They are GM original center caps and they are $22 bucks a piece. Kinda steep, but there arent really any other options. The place is called 'Hub Cap Annie' on Forest Ln and 75. They have all kinds of ghetto hub caps, but ask them about center caps for an 82-92 firebird, they got em. Im not sure if they have the silver ones, but I know they have the black ones because thats what I got.

22 bucks cool I can afford that. I just need one so do you think they will try to scam me into buying a set or do they sell them one a piece?

Nah, just one a piece. I initially jsut bought two to make sure they fit, and they fit perfectly so I bought the other 2.
