center cap opinion

Post by landon1 » Wed Aug 20, 2008 10:48 pm

debating on center caps for my mags...either way they'll be the chrome 5 ears that they're supposed to have, but i can go with an "american racing" decal or a black decal with a silver pentastar in it.....any opinions on this one?

if the caps are staying chrome i dont think they would look good against the black.maybe if you still had the side pipes. :beer:

have to have chrome centers...plus the chrome lugs, and now brand new chrome bolt-in valve stems...it'll be pretty sweet...but, i'll be re-painting the brake drums gray, even though i do like the orange :P

only maybe 25 more years and i might start making some really good progress, which depending, of course, would include having my mags plated...don't really like the polished aluminum look people are going to...definitely not as cool as chrome and sucks to keep clean

I just started priming the original 14 inch rallyes that were hidden by aftermarket cheap a## Pep Boys hubcaps. I'd love to get new rims, but my 15 year old daughter needed braces and is about two months away from her temps. Another teen daughter, another car to buy.
