Default Z06 Center Caps (yes again)

I know this question has been asked quite frequently but even after searching every thread here relating to them I am still unable to find some place that I can even order BLANK c5 z06 center caps from. Someone said SLP and I can't find it on their site. I know there are alot of us with z06 rims here and Im sure not all of you are riding around with embossed corvette emblems on them. Ideas?

TIA

You can ask tomzwheels.com if they can order them. They sell wheels with those caps, but I don't know that they sell them individually.

The logo is embossed, rubbing it won't make it come off. You would have to fill it in and then paint over it. I think its just plastic. I've been holding out for someone to sell Z06 caps with the Firebird logo or Pontiac logo embossed on them. Prolly won't happen, I'll have to spring for the blanks.

That bowtie will come off with some acetone fingernail polish remover...apply it with a Q-tip, and do not scrub. The decal will dissolve and can be wiped clean without scratching the chrome finish.

I have pics linked in my sig....look in the most recent album.

Ordered the ones from SLP they said the bowtie was painted/decal on etc.. instead of embossed so I can get them removed and finally not have corvette logos all over my TA.
