Default Corvette Chrome Bottons

Does anyone have these? Do they stay on pretty well on top of the screws? Thanks.

Yes they do. They are two piece. You can remove the screw and insert the base piece, reinstall the screw and snap the chrome button over the base piece, or you can just use a dab of clear silicon on the chrome portion and press on the screw head. Works fine either way. I did the screws in my door area and trunk area. looks good on a MSM coupe

Let me know the interest in these. I had been thinking of offering sets (I think 44 do the complete coupe) and would sell for around $40 + shipping

Curious of the quality since 44 cost me more that that. I have seen cheap ones that are all dull and scratched.

Not bad quality, don't remember if I got them from ZIP or PFYC.
Came in as "American Car Craft P/N C527 or C623". Supplied as 50 buttons and 50 sockets in two sizes. Large size is 5/8" diameter overall, small is 1/2". Appears manufacturer is "Snap Aps".

Go to page 3067 on this site...up to a 1/4" screw cover under $8.00 for 25 pieces.
If I would have known, I would have ordered them the industrial hardware supplier.

P.S.
How did the matte black textured console turn out ?

Have them on my car. Look great. Caps look better than chrome screws. You get enough to do all screw heads in front, door and back lift.
