Thinking about modifying center caps...

I have the Acura center caps with the (A) "engraved" in them. I was thinking about painting the center cap satin black and the (A) inside SSM clear coating them. Then I would finish the rims off with some black lugs. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions would be great!

Imaginary rep points to you dude. You seem to be pretty creative at making the most of what you have.

Want to see pics of this.

I say why not give it a shot.

How would you engrave the A?

Thanks for the compliments guys. I will try to get the materials for the project this week. I think the black center caps and lugs will compliments the CL-S wheels nicely.

I have black lugs on my rims and I love the look.

Can't even notice them though...don't really stand out in my opinion.
