Watcha think? Custon/diy center caps for my SBC Rpf1's! POLL!
So, i got tired of people telling me i needed center caps, lol
i honestly do not care much for the original enkei rpf1 center caps as they dont even come in SBC and kinda clash with the color of the wheels
so, here i am bored to hell, and i decided to check out my garage, when i see my old MB weapons sittin in the corner, !!!!!!!!!
so i took one of the MB center caps (which so conveniently happens to be similar finish to the SBC only a bit darker) unfortunately the caps are just a tad tooo small, and the centers say MB weapons of course, so with a little imagination, i made custom centers!
i used the blue enkei symbol that came with the wheel stickers (i didnt want to put them on the wheels like all RPF1's are supposed to have, so they were in my glove box doing nothing) and they match the blue valve stems and also somewhat match my lugs!
so this is the finished result!!!!!!
so vote and letme know what you think! any ideas on stickers or something i could put on the center of the caps are welcome!!

well if you have adobe illustrator you can down load the EPS logo from brands of the world and take it a vynl shop and ask them to cut you white logos the same size or my boy has a vynl that looks like neochrome so maybe u can try that also? i mean the blue is nice of the logo and it matches the valve stem but (designer trick) cross your eyes a little while looking at the logo and watch how it disappears against the background... im guessing u want it pop more correct? just saying in white or maybe a neochrome type color might help

you could also mask the outter ridge, spray black on the top part and then peal away the blue logo and you'll have a black center with a silver logo with the nice silver finish around the ridge?? i duno just another option homie
