Custom Center Caps

LS1CMR · 10-07-2009, 10:32 PM

Well i bought my Street Lites because i loved the design and the way they look on my car, however i never liked the center caps they came with. So i took two of them and cut them up and made my own.

Nice job. Looks real clean. You need to add your own emblem design to personalize it.

Definatly clean, and way to think of something creative!

Need to get some better pictures of the whole car with them!

Good job

I kinda did the same thing to my Prostar's. Yeah it just needs a Z28 logo on it or something. Would be really cool if you could get the billet specialties logo etched into it.

LS1CMR · 11-04-2009, 09:36 PM

Did you use a spacer between the brake rotor and rim in order to clear the brake caliper?

LS1CMR · 11-05-2009, 10:01 PM

no spacer but the bakes were half worn when i put the calipers on

SSpeedracer · 11-05-2009, 11:07 PM

I thought I was looking at a picture of my own car when I saw the red corvette caliper. My pads are ~5000 miles old and were barely making contact along the raised corvette logo. I used a POS 1/8" spacer and the problem went away. Also had to grind down the caliper cooling ducts to clear the barrel. Check out the pictures I just posted here.
