Can't remember exactly, however it did come from eBay... Just do a search for our cars and a few will come up... By the way, one of our members on here actually got an overlay in black with red SS, looks really sharp...

That's me

The eBay caps have a variety of overlay designs offered with them.... Unfortunately, the only SS one they had did not match the SS logos on my Monte.

I contacted ReflectiveConcepts.com. I had to give him dimensions and info on what I was looking for. I'm sure if anyone contacts him he'll still have the info available. He can also do other custom setups.

I personally felt it was a great improvement (even if it's not seen that often).

Good to know... I may have to go down that route my self, it looks too good to pass up...

Here's mine. I didn't feel like messing with it myself so I had a custom shop do the work and it came out great. An adhesion aid is almost always necessary when painting plastic, especially plastic that is subject to constant temperature fluctuations and high temperatures.

I wanted to leave mine mostly stock. Used touch up paint to do the lettering.
