Still looking to buy some driver quality trim rings and center caps for my '87 El. Also looking for the "light panel" on the right side of the gauge cluster that shows the warning for the E-brake, seat belts, etc. as the previous owner tried to clean it with lacquer thinner, and either a replacement tach or a clock. That should do it for now so I can put the dash together then I can get this thing running and out of the garage so I can take some pictures of it to post.

I ordered up a repop set of centers from Dixie a couple years ago...they look great and for the price I personally wouldn't bother with used ones.

They also have reproduction trim rings as well.

Thanks for the input. I have been reading posts about the repop ones and some guys say they don't fit well and they start losing them. Did you do anything special to keep your from flying off?

I haven't had any problems with them yet.

OK good to know. I am going to check eBay also. Just don't want to have problems down the road as this will be my daily driver.....

Thanks, again, for the input and has anyone else had any other experiences with the repops, either good or bad?

Here are some original GM if you want to splurge for them.

Here are the original GM centers for those caps.

Kinda pricy at 231.94 per wheel all 4 done with original caps and centers 927.76:Eyecrazy::Eyecrazy: then you still need trim rings. They have various different ones on there site. Not sure if any of them are the original aluminum style like came on them.

WOW!!!!! Almost more than I paid for the whole CAR!!!! :yell:
I wonder what the difference is between those and the ones on eBay for $39.00 a set of 4? And that INCLUDES shipping!!

The GM ones where actually painted the same color as the dark gray on the two tone rally wheels. Repos are black. The center emblems will look just a little different than the original GM but most will not know the difference.
Here are few pictures of a NOS GM cap.

I have my old plastic that goes behind the ribbed part of the light panel. Is that what you need or the whole bezel. Let me know what you need I might have it.
