thank your very much took about 5 hours =]]
i just used metallic spray can paint i bought it at home depot

I would tend to think a dark gunmetal would look really sharp on there

lol yea that was probably me, my moms house is in southridge part of fontana, and my dad lives right across from ontario mills in the apartments, i also work at the target off of summit past the 210 so chances r that it was me [=
there stickers : what i did is just took my center cap off and took it to a custom sticker shop, they made the outlining and color for me for the sticker, then i painted my hole center cap and put the sticker on them, very simple
