What he is saying is he wants to make his hood badge (normally blue), black. Since the rim caps are the same size he wants to know if he can swap them.
I have no idea, but its a great idea...I am buying a cap today from my dealer to try.

Doesn't the "bonnet badge" attach via two prongs that pass through holes in the hood then secured with some kind of fastner? Might try drilling two holes in each center cap to allow attachment of the badge using the same way it attaches to the hood.
