Got my A Spec wheels powdercoated gloss black. Now i am in need of black Aspec centercaps with the acura emblem still chrome... Is this something I am gonna have to do at home? Most body shops wont do this small job so I wonder are these sold online? Similair to the ones on that rsx with hyperblack aspecs centercaps. I need to know if this should just be done by me or if i can order them

 

Let me know what you find. I have been on the lookout for Acura centercaps to fit my aftermarket wheels which are 70 mm face and 64 mm back. I know the OEM Acura ones are too small to fit my wheels.

 

i have the stock aspec centercaps im just looking for black ones with the chrome acura emblem

 

??? bump

 

How much did the powder coating run? Did you have rash that needed TLC?

 

yes i bought the rims from a friend 2 wheels were rashed others scratched but they had brand new tires on them. they were chrome so for sandblasting, repair, and gloss black powdercoat i paid 500. rims cost me 700 from friend. total : 1200

 

anyone know about the centercaps?

 

I was at the dealer and looked through a bunch of cars on the lot. Good luck on finding a black center cap. Did not see any. Closest you can get is the ebony look wheels, which are not very black in color, still basically a chrome A symbol on a silver background. Looks like the custom road for you. Get that airbrush ready.

 

hahaha. ok i guess it will be a taped off emblem and airbrush the rest black. ahhh the pleasure of doin things myself

 

does anyone know how to get the emblems off of the centercap? this would make my life much easier

i don't see why you cant ge a body shop to paint some for you...

 

just mask off the "A" and spray it yourself...

 

The body shop would have to mix up the paint and all and it wouldn't be worth their time, understandable.
