I'm sure this has probably been done before but i thought i would share it with everybody on here anyways. But as many of you know, the factory center caps on termi wheels will not fit the saleen replica wheels. I was kind of aggravated when i found this out when i was putting my new wheels on, but i thought of a cheap way of making some factory looking caps for them. I sanded them down and shot a few coats of gloss black on, then i had some SVT vinyl decals made in metallic silver (1 and 1/4 inches wide). Then i shot about 5 coats of clear over the whole cap after i put the SVT emblems on there, but i'm happy with how they turned out. It was a simple and cheap way of making a nice touch to the wheels, and here is a couple of pics for ya (sorry for the crappy quality, these were taken with my iphone)....

Looks good, it's the small details that set a car apart from the rest.

You might align the center cap with the valve stem. Just looks better, IMO.
