Um. All car makers have em.

Bentley might not, though, so no, not all

 

Wow, when did THAT happen- I missed it.

 

And how does one change a tire without cracking a hubcap??

 

Metal spring holds the hubcap in place - it's actually very easy to pull off - just grab on 2 opposite sides and pull toward you - never had an issue with that.

 

Thanks- good to know!

 

Good thing you liked it... BUT

This is why people should do everything themselves- don't get any options except maybe floormats and never ever let your dealer install your accesories! (They mess up at the shop a lot...)

I had an experience with my Corolla S, I wanted an alarm (they said Cobra) I got there and they said they ran out of stock, so they installed another brand and I they told me that I should never lose the remote since it is very hard to find a remote for it, they also punch a hole on the firewall and never covered it with a rubber seal.

And another one for my tC, (the procedure took a quick 20minutes for my paperwork, that's good.) But, I told them to simply fill up the tank and not give it a car wash since the car has only 1mile on it and no options so it is scratch/swirl free when I checked it when I found it at the backlot. But, still they gave it a wash and when I got home I checked for swirls and there are some and also they really didn't get the shipping adhesive right nicely, so I had to take my Mr. Clean, clay bar, MF cloths and PC random orbit polisher and some of my mild polish to take care of them, I used 100% carnauba after that . (I loved the shine!)

My dealer called me and told me that I have free oil changes just last week and asked me on how many miles I have on it, I told them that I just got 1540miles and I just changed my oil after 500miles of driving it.

They warned me about warranty being void by DIY oil changes and told me that I should only use 10W-30 for the desert heat, I even asked the guys at the parts store on what they use to change oil and they also clearly said 10W-30 and asked them what brand it is well they said Toyota or Valvoline... (Also, they also have a bunch of clogged oil pump issues at the shop.)

So if you want car security... DIY with the best one! You want rims? TireRack, and have the shop install the tire and install it at home, you want an oil change? DIY or go to a tuner shop or the very expensive car dealership that is dedicated not to scratch your car.

 

Both Honda and the lower end Toyotas are still doing a lot of plastic hub caps. BTW .. you have a PM Rich.

 

Okay, I give up. Will somebody please tell me what a PM is?.............

 

Private Message (The little PM button under every comment. Its like an email thats lined to this site.

When somebody says Bump that means I like the idea, or great, its positive so don't think badly of it.

FS is For Sale

WTB is Want To Buy

G/B is a group buy.

What else am I missing?

 

I'm still confused. Was the poster saying I should have taken this question to private message, rather than here in this thread?

 

Nope, he was saying that he PMed you! Look at the very top of the this page. Now find the red "search" button. Above it is a row of icons labeled staff, gear, rules....ect. One is labeled message and should be flashing red. Just click it and you should have a message in there!

 

Well, that's the first thing I did- I have no Private Messages................ <shrug>

Thanks for the help
