Default After Market Oil Cap and NEW overlay!

So last year, I added an aftermarket aluminum chrome oil cap. There are MANY options for overlays with these. I wanted the SS (since I could not get a full Knight's Crest). Well, the down side as seen in the below pics is that the SS is silver, yet ALL my other SS badging it red (excluding my door sills, which if when I made the order I knew I could have gotten red instead for JUST the SS, I would have done it).

Anycase, I worked with ReflectiveConcepts.com to correct this problem. They made me an awesome custom overlay that has a black background, silver/chrome border ring and a RED SS!! I am 100% happy with this. Last night I carefully peeled the old overlay off and stuck it to my tool cabinet.

Before (original overlay):


Now with the ReflectiveConcepts.com custom overlay:

Looks great! I have the same silver SS overlay. I'm living with mine. But your red SS overlay looks so much better. Fits the rest of the car much better than the silver that came with the cap.

If you look on ebay, look up Camaro oil cap. Under the additional applications is the Grand Prix. Which is the same as our Montes.

Man, that's really cool that they made a custom overlay for you and it looks great! Do you mind telling us how much it cost for them to make you a custom one? I would like to do something like this, but a little different.

When I get the replica bullits for my winter rims I wonder if they could do a running pony overlays for the center caps?
