Wheel Center Cap Decals

[etlsport]

they arent hard to put on, i used a spray bottle with tap water and dish soap in it, sprayed the caps, scrubbed with a paper towel, sprayed distilled water on them, wiped off, wiped them with the wet paper towel then used the squegee to press the middle of the sticker into the wheel, and squeegeed down to get the bubbles out, then up for the top.. then dug my fingernails into the gap between the centercap and the logo (theres a very fine crack) and used that as my guide to cut the vinyl with an exacto blade.. any air bubbles i poked with a needle and squeegeed in the area

k4tmc, yellow on black, that should really look cool on your proton. I ordered the Chrome VX on Carbon. But now that it is avaliable, can always change later.

So I ask ya, how cool is that?

That is awesome. Thanks for letting us know about this one. I am going to get a carbon fiber background with red VX for my pro-comps. Thanks again.

Looks great!

Was it a pain to cut the center piece? It comes with a square mat for the background right?

CrnCnn, it was easy to cut. Once you press it out, there is a perfect imprint where to cut it. I screwed one up, the last one of course so I need to order another square. Other then that I'm happy with it. The Vehicross tee shirt looks good too, think I need another one.

What tee shirt did you get?

He bought a t-shirt that asks, "How the heck do you cut a perfect circle?!?"



BTW, I'll probably order a set of VX decals with a carbon-fiber-ish background for my AR Teflon Chamber wheels. For the price I paid, I don't feel the need to constantly advertise American Racing with their stock center cap logos!

This looks pretty sweet!
So the decal went right on top of the old Isuzu insert? Is that going to stay on long with all the dirt, water and spinning the cap gets? Just wondering if this is a once and done thing or would you have to do it again later on because it'll peel or come off.

i used a vinyl cover over my center caps probably 6 months ago now, havent had any issues with it at all (the vinyl didnt come from that company though) ive pressure washed my wheels plenty of times since then too

...that is pretty awesome.. might be time to change my centercaps again

Nice find. Now I can get a custom "VX" center cap to go with my custom "VX" titanium grill badge.

VX4EJR, yes, they went right over it after cleaning. I did have a problem with one and ended up tearing it, so I have 3 with, and one with out. But I bought another T-shirt and Kevin threw one in for free. I think, no, I would recommend that you wipe it down with a wax remover too just to be safe. I had a edge that just would not stick no matter how hard I tried, and in the end I tried to hard and ruined it, oh well, live and learn and pass it on to others.
