Any auto parts store will have them. They are all one size so you don't have to worry about them not fitting. If all else fails steal one off of a bicycle.

You could treat your Camaro to a logo set - see lick & pic.

If you're driving in the winter be sure to clean them off from salt or just wait to Spring to use & get a simple one from Advanced Auto...

It is true that the thread size is common between all valve stems but the shafts seem to be longer on the Camaro. I purchased some aluminum caps because I thought the black plastic caps didn't look good. The base of the cap leaves about an 1/8" of brass showing on the valve stem (also doesn't look good). If anyone has found some caps that have an extended base and hide the brass let me know!

The caps for stems with TPMS have longer threads.

Then ask them for caps for TPMS tires. It's not exactly new tech and lots of cars have it.

TPMS set... i checked at my local autozone and they have the caps but they're longer for this car, not sure if its the same for the non RS series

do not use METAL caps, plastic or rubber are fine, small electrical charge from tpms will fuse cap on, happened to three tires on my other car.

I drove mine SS/RS home from the dealer, and I lost one on the way. Turns out they were all loose and ready to fall off. When I was at the dealer last week, the parts guy quoted me $5/cap or $20/set!!!! I like the completely original look I have, and would like to keep it looking the part, but not for that price for a valve stem cap!
