Question Vinyl Overlays

Will these (link below) HHR overlays from Amazon fit my 2007 Cobalt's badges? I don't want to paint them and I'm having trouble finding anything other then these. I just want a solid silver color; no more gold.

http://www.amazon.com/Bowtie-Overlay.../dp/B002OCY5UI

Thanks in advance

Painting is EXCEPTIONALLY easy.

and if you don't want to do that... go buy your own vinyl. It will be cheaper, and you have more margin for error. just lay a piece over it and, smooth it out, and run a razor between the gold and silver.

I wouldn't pay so much for something that would cost next to nothing

painting is the way to go. even easier if you use krylon made for plastic. clean with alcohol and paint. NO sanding required. did that on all my emblems and no chips with over 12k on the car of driving.

You could also order the exact paint color in a spray can from http://gmpartsdirect.com/

just find your paint code and order from them

These look good too. To paint or not to paint, that is the question. Looks like I've got some thinking to do.
