I posted the EXACT same question... on a different thread some time back! Turns out the 'Spring Edition' (Victory Red HHR) write-up linked to from the Home page of CHEVYHHR.net COMES WITH COLOR MATCHED (chrome) CENTER CAPS!! I was curious of 2 things- #1. Does it still have the 'bowtie' embossed in the cap, #2. Whats the part number?
I have the stock 17" polished rims and just cant get over the whole GOLD bowtie-miss-mash plastered on top of high luster (SILVER) parts!!! Here's my opinion- YUCK!
TO ALL HHR die hards/GM junkies... PLEASE POST A PART NUMBER IF ONE'S AVAILABLE!!!! Thanks.

I don't care too much for the badges.

I like the passer by to glance over and wonder what the heck it is factor!

They ask what the heck it is even WITH the badges. They're still going to ask you if it's a PT Loser.

Not A PT

The reason I opted to add more Bowtie" ie grill decal with CHEVROLET, was to hopefully let people know how much they don't know about what it is..........or what it's not. Been a diehard bowtie owner all my life, sorta proud of the Bowtie. To each their own though. I'd say leave em alone, they can barely be seen as they are, at least mine are nearly invisible. Maybe an after market dealer would have something, my local tire dealer always has little extra's lying around, might check one of those.

freeze frame

How about a freeze plug, then you could paint it, decal it or polish it

center caps

sindy yes they do just pop out but it's better to take off the rim and nock them out from the inside and as far as the caps you can go to a rim shop and see if they have any blank ones that fit
