And then there were...

...these really cool center caps. Who else has them ..

[luvmybravada]

Not me. Thats okay, I like it without. It looks cleaner to me that way. Nice car, welcome to the forum.

BTW, I gave you a 10 cuz I like the tint/chromes/spoiler combination!

['98AUROYRA]

Thanks. That's quite a compliment coming from an extremist! I've busted my canole's trying to find those center caps. Even trying to track down the original owner thru the dealership in Texas!! The picture doesn't do them justice,and add to that they're not as clean as they could be.They really go great with that overall gold emblem treatment.

[mission008]

i dont get it...the emblem isnt there usually?

['98AUROYRA]

They're not OEM. Aftermarket from somewhere? Definitely not "DIY",it's too precise.

[gpriest]

Nice. I wonder where they are from.

[blondie]

Is it just me, or does it look photoshopped?

[fear]

I think it's just a bad pic. Do the newer aurora center caps look like that? I thought about trying the newer ones on mine(once it get's out the shop)

['98AUROYRA]

Careful,cupcake. It's just you.

It's the low resolution of the image.

['98AUROYRA]

Hopefully these pics will show the details. Somebody spent some $$$ on tooling to make these. I'd say they made more than a dozen of them,ya think?

[gpriest]

Damn... I would love those... but I would have to get the chrome rims.

['98AUROYRA]

These will only fit classic wheels...

[Mr. Javi]

Yup, I have seen those before here in Chicago, and they will fit all Classic Aurora wheels chrome or non chrome, but of course it would look much better on a chrome wheel.

['98AUROYRA]

Now let's get the "Powers that be" from this board to locate a vendor and arrange a "group purchase" at a good price. What say you?? All in favor....?

[gpriest]

Your not the vendor are you? lol

Nice, he called me cupcake!...

Didn't mean to offend.

['98AUROYRA]

No,I'm not "the vendor"! But I guess if it's going to get done and get done right I 'll have to do it myself. Then I will be "THE VENDOR"!!!!!! ;D

To "Cupcake", you're OK sweetheart. Hey,fahgetabotit.

[scottydl]

Powers that be? Hehe. Members have historically been just as (if not more) successful at finding vendors than staff has, for mass production of a product. I too have seen a set of those center caps... I was on the road stopped for a meal somewhere, I know it was in Illinois but I can't remember where.

Here is my gift to the community:

eBay auction link

Whilst searching for my Shift handle a few nights ago, I stumbled across these.. ALl I could think was "OMG, FTW!"

It's a start at least guys.. See if the seller has them, or if the seller can get you all in contact with the vendor

[Mr. Javi]

Yup that's it.

Bahahhahaahahha

Thats funny stuff right there.

I clicked that link, thats indeed them, I'd LOVE to see the alloy rim with that chrome/logo center cap ;D

[95mushroom]

Hottie, now cupcake, its been a good week for blondie ....

[JimW]

I noticed something interesting yesterday on the Alero GLS. It has the Oldsmobile logo in the centre cap, but its colour matched to the rim. Perhaps it would look better as matte silver on the alloy version of our OE 16's?

That made me laugh. Thanks... too funny. What did I do to deserve this?

['98AUROYRA]

Well,we could start by acknowledging that you have at least one ounce of humility which means Ma raised ya right. An dats a good ting. Cause there ain't enough of that in society. Anyways,"Cupcake", uh..Miss Blondie, I gotta tell ya that you touched a nerve just a bit with the Photoshop comment. It was like I was coming here with smoke and mirrors. Homey don't play dat. So,seeing as how yous from Jersey an all,I figured I'd try to word it in such a way so's you'd "get it". I'm glad you did. Hence my reply "you're OK sweetheart" See? It's all good.

Now to the business at hand. I talked directly to the owner of the company that originally spent the bucks to produce these in Taiwan. They were available for most makes and models. That is until "Moco" issued a cease and desist order for copyright infringement regarding the trademark logos. So they spent more money re-tooling to eliminate all of the various logos. I don't understand why they just didn't come to term$$ and get permission to use them. If ebay guy has found a new source,then it may be time to hook up and organize a group purchase. In the meantime I've got Bruno to keep an eye on my stuff! Atta boy.
