I had a set on my 69 Camino a few years ago. They were pretty nice quality. Better than the shallow over the counter GM ones IMO.

I used these before and found them to be very nice. I bought a set recently for another project and they didn't come with the SS emblem (first set did). It was just a blank area. I bought a set of SS emblems from Ground Up and they were too big to fit in the cap. I believe GM still sells the emblem, but at about $13@. Dimensionally these are right on. Chrome was good.

Overall, I'd recommend this product.

Dimensionally, they're junk. The OEM SS emblem will not fit since the ID of the repro cap is too small. Since they didn't want to retool, they must be selling them with an altered SS emblem already installed - that is the ONLY way to buy them or you'll be out of luck. They look good otherwise, though.

Mine had the SS's already in place... came with retainers and hardware...installed in 10 min and they looked good to me.

Larry Patten was selling them a few years back with the SS emblem. His number is 4138620061.A friend of mine bought them and they looked good.

Goodmark is the vendor on these caps. I bought my last set from Classic Muscle ($69). I probably wouldn't buy a set unless it came with the SS emblems installed. It took a little time to edge off some of the material on the SS emblems so they would fit. My first set had the emblems and they were very nice.
