Default Least Expensive Place To Buy Centercaps

1981 with "Competition Package" Rim/Manhole Covers. Looking to convert my all silver to the silver with the black "Porsche" crest.

Any place that sells these cheaper than the Porsche dealer? Here is a pic of the car with the wheels.

The cheapest route is to go down to your local hobby shop and pick up some modelers paint [I've seen quite a few folks use Testers]. Modelers paint + painters tape + razor knife + patience will result in a great center cap.
If you don't trust your hands with a brush, try eBay... hit or miss though; Roger at 928sRuS is always a sure thing for great price/quality product.

I still can't decide if I like the different colors painted in or just the silver and black. Were they all just silver/black from the factory???

On my BoxsterS the calipers were red so I painted my crests...




Since the caliper are black on the GTS, I like the stock black crests...
