Default New center caps hitting the market

no vendors were offering carbon fiber center caps, so I had to do it myself.


What do you think??

Looks good! I like it! And nice that you preserved the color emblem......seems most black those out or eliminate them altogether.

Is that the matte finish Di-Noc or the gloss finish?

Good looking, and they would be an especially nice touch if you have the exposed CF roof.

I did not know that emblem ring came off. A lot could be done with the caps.

Will this material withstand getting wet?
