Default Replaced growler wheel caps

I replaced my center wheel caps today and wanted to show them off the old ones were all scratched up. Next I will be redoing the R brake caliper decal.

Saw this link posted in an old thread a while back. Dealer wanted $49/ each. I also saw the ones from China on Amazon, but they were not the same as these. I just wanted to replace what was on the car, cuz these match the front growler badge. Figured if I give the car pretty shiny objects, maybe she will behave

I ordered these, they are not delivered yet though.

I had looked up the caliper plate, and it would be expensive to replace it, when the only thing wrong was the white of the R was faded away. I found this thread on here:

I plan use the idea of cleaning the plate, doing the decal, and a coat of lacquer. Perhaps I should lacquer my new little growler wheel caps while I am at it.
