If anyone is curious, Starbucks has their "winter" lattes out now. Just went with my two coworkers. Feeling super #basic today, but damn if this gingerbread one isn't like drinking a cookie.
A sweet cookie?

Rockstar, I love you.

How did you get them to fit!?
i have both type-s and base.

I softened one of the base center caps clips with a heat gun.
but probably did more harm than good.

I'm gonna use lotsa words to seem smart, k?

I used some legit 1989 civic throwback centers that are smaller than the TE opening, then ordered some hubcentric rings to mount them in the hole and used clear silicone to hold it all together.

If you really want to use the ones you have, dremel the feet off and make it sit flush and use silicone to mount it to the wheel face, best bet is to let it dry laying flat on the ground but make sure you have the clearance for the axle nut behind it, otherwise it'll pop them right off when you re-mount the wheel.

I dunno about those honda center caps on Rays wheels. It just looks... Confused. I know Nissan/Infinity pull it off, but they don't have "RAYS" in big letters across the wheel face. There's is way way more subtle. Plus, Rays has contracts with Nissan/infinity. Honda never has.

I do, however, like the finish on those wheels!

I also like how you lined up the valve stem with the openings on the "H". I do that with my wheels too!! Attention to detail- me gusta!

Wait, Justn, you don't have any writing on your TEs, do you? If not, then the oem center caps will look just fine. I'm confused though- are you painting your wheels or the center caps to match?

I have a hard time growing a beard too.

Sometimes if I shave at 630am, it'll take all the way until NOON for my shadow to come in. :bored.

about the TE with the writing...I agree, I eventually went back to no center caps.

Justin, what I did was sprayed plastidip on the hubs (with wheels still on)...that hid the rust color etc and made it look more finished.

Well, on the other hand, have you seen how much razors cost. Growing a thick beard fast isn't always a good thing.

I hate shaving, except when I go to a Russian run barbershop in NY.

The best compliment I ever got was there - the barber, in his thick Russian accent said "Your face hair...is veddy strong."

Is the bumper on the white car aftermarket? The front lip looks like it's part of the bumper, unlike yours, where you can see the little grey rubber strip running along the edge of the lip.
