Had a set of chrome oem GMC center caps laying around so I had the paint shop paint the inserts GMC red.

Easier to tell if you expand to the high res image:

Goes well with the sides of the smoked tails imo.

Eek, I had linked the the hi res version but it doesn't like it.

Here's the regular version but you can't see the details.

I dunno how to link the hi res properly.

I can see it with it expanded. It's a nice subtle touch. I've tossed around doing something similar with the bowties on my center caps and color matching them.

Thanks Jacob.

It's a little harder to do with the bowties cause they are raised/embossed, whereas the GMC lettering has a recessed groove in them. But if you can get a shop to do it right it might look good, but keep in mind it will also be more prominent because there's a lot more surface area on the bowtie.
