Here's a tip for when you put the caps on....use some loctite on the little screws they back out/fall off.

i ordered them from a non-sponsor for $15.00 per cap only thing is that they only had 3 in stock so i had to order the last cap from another site for $25.00 but 15 is the cheapest iv seen maybe they will get more in stock soon.

i was thinking maybe someone from emblempros or the other emblem companys might have a good file to take to get the engraving done its a file called a "vector" file from what i understand

You should look to see what user 04GTPfornow (or something along those lines) has done with his. I think they look great.

He has a green LS1 Camaro...
