Default 20" GM Polished Center Caps without Logo Available?

Does anyone know if GM has replacement center caps for the 2007 20" rims? I like to find some w/o the gold bowtie because I think it clashes with Greystone!

I replaced my front bowtie and rear bowtie with chrome....I might paint out the bowties on the center caps.....put on esky roof rack with painted end caps and it looks awesome...but I digress. I might stop by some wheel shops tomorrow and see if they have any center caps.

I totally agree and have had no luck looking on the internet all afternoon for chrome center caps ... just changed the front bowti on my 2007 LTZ to chrome. Any tricks on changing the back? Fishing line and 3M tape? Chrome trim and they insist onthat yellow bowti ...

Yeah, I was thinking about masking the steering wheel bowtie and painting it body color. It looks cheap to me and for $49k the interior should be a little nicer.

I've always wanted to take off a center cap and take it to a vinyl/sign shop and have them make 4 stickers to go over the gold. Probably in a silver for me, but could color match it if you wanted. They might fall off after a few years, but normally they use good quality stuff. Heck, could prob get 8 or 12 for pretty cheap just to have extras.

I just did the front and back bowties this weekend. You are right on the back one. Do it on a really hot day or get a heat gun. Use some fishing line - I used 15# test - lighter lines tend to snap. Just work it back and forth to break the adhesive bond. An old credit card works too. Be prepared when you get it off for some adhesive removal. Lots of elbow grease. I also used goo gone. Took awhile but got it all off. Also, my chrome replacement only came with two strips of double sticky tape on it - add some more to insure it stays on. My replacement did not come with the two pointy tips to fit into the holes so the extra tape helps. Good luck - it looks so much better with chrome rather that that gold ugly thing!!!
