Default IndianaTC Super Super Super Slow Build

Alright everyone finally starting a thread for my car. 2005 Nautical Blue Scion TC-purchased it with 37,000 miles on it (52,000 as of now). It is nothing special, but I love it. I bought it in January 2010 after selling my 95 civic. Bought it was The civic was the first car I ever owned, but I decided to stop driving a POS around! Im not a photographer by any stretch so deal with my crappy iPhone pictures. Feel free to hate on it or love on it either way. I am a Purdue Senior Graduating in May so money is pretty tight. Budget building as best as I can. Trying to self-teach(?) myself about cars and car building. Im dreaming of a turbo...

Parts List

Megan Racing Short Shifter
Doctor Isotope Type R ****
JVC 7in In-Dash

Exterior

5% tint all around
VRD Grille
Shorty Antenna

Trd Shocks/Springs
Enkei Super 7 rims
18in Rota Tarmac 2-Bronze

Probably more I forgot...

Know a solution to what? Missing wheel cap?

And for the money and customization why not just get the Dr. I short shifter?

Maybe see if the wheel manufacturer has an option for a raised center cap?

I have the caps that it came with but they do not fit over the center hub(?). I saw that rota has some other carbon fiber caps that may fit. I was hoping someone has experience with this issue to say if they fit before I spend the money on them.

Dr. I has been sold out everytime I look on his site.

Contact rota and see if they have a cap that is taller. Otherwise all I can think of is to get some spacers to push your wheel out farther so the spindle doesn't stick out as much. At that point thought I would just deal without having a center cap

That was my plan. Probably going to end up with no caps.

Definitely possible...I am usually in the Krannert Garage though.

Are you still at Purdue?
