Center cap ideas
 

So my wheels finally showed up and I got the tires mounted yesterday. Still don't have them on the car so no pictures yet. :icon_shrug:
Anywho, the centercaps that came with them are kinda, well, meh. So my vinyl guy is making some vinyl to cover the centercaps with something a little more British. Problem is he said his blade isn't small enough to do the growler symbol so he came up with a couple other things to make.

I was thinking maybe the leaper in blue facing both directions. The car is the dark blue with chrome accents (stock). Also thought about the leaper on a lighter silver background. What are everybody elses thoughts on the subject? Anybody have any other pictures that may work? I thought about the R but not until I get some more performance mods to back up the R claim. :icon_wink:

what wheels did you get?

Round ones. :icon_razz:

Probably some lightweight 17s for racing goodness.

I would pick up white color and the growler one .You can also consider of gold color I don't think that would look cheeky lol

silver painted or chrome wheels? What about the blue leaper on silver background? That would be different.

You know me so well. :)

Bright silver. The blue leaper on a silver background would be nice. Thanks!

sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.

oh nice!

Thanks! Hopefully they look even better once they're on the car. LOL

Then you should go for Sony Ericsson Satio if you solely wanna buy a real great camera :icon_wink: .
It also has a Xenon Flash which means you can't always use Xenons on a car :icon_hyper: lol
Anyway, your wheels are nice verily

Nice... Those are the new Work XSA something or others right?

Yes, Work XSA 02C.

I use my phone for more than just a camera so I think I'm sticking with what I have. I have the iPhone 3G, not the 3GS so it's the old CMOS. I've heard rumors the fourth gen iPhone will be improved again and my plan is about up so I may give that one a try. If not I may go with a different plan altogether as my service down here BLOWS. LOL

LOL who cares about the phone?....... more specs on the wheels

chknhwk, not to question things, but if your looking to do something unique, something you may want to consider is printing up your own decals and then putting that on the center hub. From there, you can do pretty much whatever you want. The only limitation is how fine that your printer can print. Most modern day printers will do whatever you need. So, you would be able to take the image that you want, print it on to the decal paper, coat the decal paper with a gloss coat of paint (clear). Then you apply some adhesion promoter to the center cap, transfer the decal to the center cap, cover with another coat of clear and you are done. Can probably do everything for around $15 ($12 if you have the clear and adhesion promoter already). If you need me to print up the images, I have the decal paper already and you can send a few bucks my way to cover the cost of a sheet of decal paper and postage. Then all I need is the image that you want. About the only limit I really have is printing in white. Unfortunately, no printer I can afford will allow me to print in white.

See, I need center caps:

Not sure what your current center caps look like, but if they are kind of domed at all you might have a little trouble getting a decal to lay down properly without getting a wrinkle in it so that it follows the contours. You might have to cut a little slice in them. Have you considered taking a piece of tape and cutting out your design and then putting that on the center caps and painting the icon you choose right on the caps? If you do it as a single color as your original rendering that might not be too much work depending on how intricate your design ends up.

Fixed. ;)

Wheels look good on there, cant go wrong with gunmetal on dark blue.

edit: didnt these wheels come with Work centercaps??

They're actually silver, they came out darker in the pics.
I'm probably not going to lower this car. If I get a five speed I'll most likely lower that one though. I'm just going to see how it handles with the custom sway bars and go from there. I won't deny that the sport suspension would look really good on there right now... And some STR brakes. ;)
