I just put chrome lexus caps on mine like dubsed did. took me a few sets to get it right, but i'm very happy with the results. It was a little more work to get these rims correctly fitted and looking good, but i'm very happy with the results.

Thanks Dubsed for the inspiration!

take care don't brake it with high pressure of your hand...
you can warm it to remove the tape easier
now use your fingers to remove the tape...
after removing the Hyundai layer you must use rubber to remove H shape from the center cap...
don't let the rubber go to basic layer....
after that use a sand paper to get it smooth
now use a softer sand paper to get it more and more smooth...
(take care of edge)
now use a spray color to paint it if you want a decals on it
after paint let color to dry... now use your decals on it...
if you want to use your L logo you can buy it from a shop and use tape to take on it....
Enjoy it...

Whoa that looks legit! lets get a pic with it on the car.
