Small Mod: Painted CenterCaps from Bumperplugs

Ever since I got my GTS, I've been a little at odds with the look of the Black CenterLocks. I love the look of the wheel, but couldn't quite place what wasn't right...until a couple of weeks ago: too many different colors/shades on the wheel.

Basically, the GTS comes with black wheels, but the centerlock nuts is gray/silver, and the center cap is yet another shade of silver. So my OCD took over, and I came with an answer: Black out the Center Caps! So, off to BumperPlugs they went.

Thanks to Eric at Bumperplugs for getting these done with the typical high-quality we've all learned to expect. They really look great. I'm still considering swapping for Black Centerlock Nuts, but for now, quite happy with the results.

Attached is a picture from before, and a (blurry) pic from today. After I get a chance to clean the car up again, I'll post better images.

TBH, if it were my car, I would have done the opposite of what you did and blacked out the nut instead of the cap. Still, turned out quite nicely

Thought about that. Black Center Nut is $700+, this was $150.
