Was on the PYFC site imagining all the money I was going to spend and came across these in their Grand Prix section;
http://www.pfyc.com/store/graphics/new/gp1025.jpg
So I write them and ask if they will fit my 2000 Grand AM GT stock rims, and they responded that they were not sure but I could give it a shot and if they don't fit I could return them (nice guys indeed!)
So I order them and 7 days later I get them and they fit like a glove!!

I have notified PFYC and I beleive they will be putting them into the Grand AM section of the site.
Damn they look good!!! So much better then the stock grey ones.

Kelly and I did this mod several years ago with our SEs.

However the caps are available from the GM parts dept, no need to go through PFYC.

Local dealer here wanted $18 a piece so with tax $82. From PFYC it cost me $52 with shipping and exchange. So I will stick with PFYC, plus my dealer couldn't confirm what the GM part was for the black ones because they asked for my vin number and because I did not have a vin for a Grand Prix they couldn't tell me if they were available.

Ouch! Looks like your local dealer was gouging you. I can't remember the exact price, but we didn't pay anywhere near that for ours. :(

I got a set from ebay for around $15 but they don't fit my aftermarket wheels.

So you have to pay $52 for the center caps and then give them your original ones?
Why? So they can clean them and turn around and resell them to someone else for more than what GM charges?

I was thinking earlier this week that there is not much of an difference in value between the two countries currencies. Used to be when I went to Canada, I got $1.30-$1.40 for each American dollar. It was sort of like free money.

Yea, now its pathetic! Even the canadians are keeping up with our money. (Now I actually KEEP all the canadian coinage that I found, because it IS free money :lol: )
I used to just throw away canadian coins because I figured with the exchange rate that they were nearly worthless
:off-topic: sort of

NP on the off topic thing I am Canadian so it fits. My wife runs an internet business and the fact that our dollar is strong is killing her volume is up but she is making half the amount of money.
For me I can just by cool stuff at a cheaper price so it is all good.
