^I've purchased from them before, but because of the coating they use the emblem would have a shinny look to it which I don't want. Also, they don't have the logo I'm looking for so it would have to be a custom job. I emailed them weeks ago about this same project but never received a response from them. They do have a good product though, if I wasn't so darn picky with what I want they'd be a good option.

The center piece is removable, but very difficult to get out without damaging the chrome of the faux cap. I removed it from my cap after heating it up with my wife's hair dryer. I had already removed the faux cap itself and was adding the harley davidson gas cap skull to the faux cover. I covered the chrome with a few layers painter's tape, then took a very small flathead screwdriver (eyeglasses type) and wedged it between the very edge of the "GT" clear disc and was able to pry it loose after some heating of the entire cover. I then traced the outline of the skull I wanted to use and used a dremmel to cut out the shape of the skull so it would be somewhat "recessed" into the faux cover. I had originally intended to just JB weld the skull over the GT as another forum member had done, but chose to remove it so I could "countersink" the skull a little.
