Steering Wheel Center Cap

Hey guys, I've seen several posts talking about steering wheel center caps and was looking to get one.

http://www.motorcityvinyl.com/ss-circle-emblem/

Problem is, there are a ton of size choices. I am just curious as to what size you guys may have gotten and how it fit. My car is an 07 SS/SC if that makes a difference.

And before anyone posts about it... I've already searched through a lot of the posts about these and haven't seen anyone say what size we should get.

Thanks!

Well worth it. Install tip: gently pry out the oem cap. Fill the recess with some windshield sealant and then the cap should fit pretty flush. And imo the caos look better without the chrome outline they try to make you get

I disagree... Looks aftermarket and plain w/o it.




OP, make sure to install the emblem in a warm garage. If you can't heat it up with a hair dryer to get the adhesive tacky.

Oh seeing that picture reminds me... Any tips on resticking the small SS logo back to the dash? I replaced mine with carbon fiber. I assume just some 3m tape or something along those lines?
