Absolutely!

Lupe is working on some interior mods for me this off season. I ordered a painted shifter bezel, speedometer/tachometer bezel, and steering wheel bezel from him last week. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

I am thinking about it for my 1LE.
Maybe someone can PS it.

Yes, I've thought about it. Here's a thread from some other members who have done it.

I've got my OEM wheels off for the winter and I'm seriously considering having them repainted. I just might have the letters painted at the same time.

Thanks for posting the thread!
I like the Silver outlined ones also.

Just installed my center caps from Lupe...they look great ! I did the black bowtie with the red surround. Very high quality ! I would recommend this product for sure.

VERY nice

Looks nice. Are those center caps ZL1 specific; or are they universal?

I just ordered the same thing. It's your fault.

I want the lugs. Where did you get them?

That is a nice touch.

Very pleased with the end results. Here's some pics.

Just for the record for future owners that are changing them as I have. The wheels do not need to be removed in order to remove the plastic center caps. One small flat bladed jewelers screwdriver to pry it away from the hub. Then place another small screwdriver or a small punch ( I have the Snap On set) to hold that spot were the first tool was placed. Re apply the first screwdriver to the other area at the top pull towards you gently and the cap will pop out!

Lupe does great work!

I figured since I was replacing the center caps, I put a screw the center of my original caps, grabbed a pair of pliers, and just simply pulled them off and snapped the new ones on.
