From what I remember, it looks like the stock painted cap, only chrome. Will post pictures and part number when I find it. Either way, I like the look of the Belvedere cap better! The Satellites used the similar looking emblems on the roof - why wouldnt they use the cap to match?! The lower model Belevderes could have got the plain cap instead.
