    i think you should plasti dip the center caps so that it matches the rim :)

    I like the chrome logo and ring, I just wish the back ground was black. I don't know if I will be able to do it and make it look good. Plastidip is matt finish. I don't really like matt finishes.

    I really wish they had not started using black rims. I would have been much happier with silver.

    Oh well. When I go to trade the car in 5 or 6 years down the road the hub caps will be in perfect shape. LOL

    Well replacing the HIDs was super easy. Too bad I lost a socket somewhere and can't find it. Why do I have a feeling it's going to get trapped somewhere bad. :(

    Of course I got talked to about working on my car in the complex. If I had moved my car to the car wash area of our condos I wouldn't have heard anything. Turns out even if you have a bulb burned out and you aren't replacing fluids you can't do it either. YEESH! The way it was being made out I was changing out the engine.

    If you start off in power mode with screaching tires it would probably fly out from underneath

    LOL

    I remember when it fell it sounded like it landed on one of the plastic under panels. I'm sure when it goes in for service they'll find it. Now I need to get a new tool set. I'm out a 10mm socket now.

    I went to go wax my car, got finished washing it and it started sprinkling and getting cold fast. I had checked the radar and weather before going and it was going to be sprinkle free for several hours. Florida weather is so fickle! Boo

    installed the Clazzio leather seats and seat warmers, but only the front 2 seats. Man it's labour intensive ><

    try to rewire the rear hatch leds for a cleaner look going through the black tubes.

    The lights won't work anymore :(
