Default Custom made centercaps

so i made a set last summer that were temporary, i used blank caps and lexus stickers. they looked ok, but the emblem was out of proportion and the finish was off.

i ordered some oem caps last week and had to modify the clips in order for them to fit, but it turned out great, and they fit just like oem.

i cut the small flange on the new centercap with a dremel and shaved every clip so it was the same size as the olde cenetrcap. takes some testing and adjustments. you can see where i cut and shaved in the last pic

looks much better, wheels looks like a much more aggressive version of the OEM ones! the lighting also makes it look even more sick!
