    I gotta say, I'm not big on putting alot of extras on my cars. I bought this car for the mpg getting to the beach and back, keeping my surfboards inside, and mpg for work.

    But I'm not a personal fan of blingy clip on hub caps. I needed to help keep my extra board from frying while in the water. I also didn't want to get my arm/face burning while driving for work. And also didn't dig the rust in the center wheels.

    So here are a few adjustments I've made......

    1. Removed the clip on hub caps and cleaned the wheels.
    2. Lowes knockout seals for the center cap
    3. 30% tint all around (Nicrome)

    Before......

    After.........

    Thanks for your posts. There is a wealth of knowledge here!

    Those wheels sure would look nice if they were painted the same color of the car....

    Looks 100% better! I just can't understand why anyone would want to keep those ugly plastic covers on.
