I found that Chevy Malibus from the early 2000s (late 90s?) have a blue bowtie in the trunk emblem that just covers the stick on on those I ordered, and most of the Malibus have the silver around the bowtie. I carefully pried them from the trunk emblems and glued them on the eBay emblems (after installation on the cap) with a light coat of Goop adhesive. I actually have only done the one in the picture. Since then, we were burglarized and the set of caps was stolen along with a set on like new 2001-2007 Silverado HD alloy wheels. The eBay seller also sells just the black discs for half the price, but the blue outline bowtie helps center the Malibu bowtie.

Here's a better pic of just the modified cap:
