Never tried these but they might be worth a shot for that price.

Dennis...those covers won't work...
I'm taking a shot on some gorilla locks that are a correct thread pitch version of the advan lugs I've had on both the TL and S2000.
Should look cool...
also, other projects kicking ass right now...
got a quote for $300 for all chrome trim wrapped in gunmetal to match wheels.
testing out gunmetal plastidip to see if I love the theme, especially once the decal inserts arrive.

The only thing I've ever plasti dipped and was pleased with the results are exhaust tips. Maybe I'm too detailed but I'm not too fond of the finish or maybe I'm not applying it correctly 
Get some 3m 1080 vinyl and wrap away

Not even...
it looks like primer.
I can PD no problem...
Key is adding the gloss.
I hate wrapping...I suck at it.
I will pay someone IF I decide to go that route...
although the more I look at pictures, the more i don't mind the contrast of the chrome trim.

Adam, you are a billion percent correct, man...
I can't lie...only reason I'm pursuing is the push I'm getting on here...I don't mind the contrast of the chrome and prefer it to blacking out. I already blacked out on my base TL!

CTSV,TL, Audi Q7 & A5SB
And this is why I like PD, inexpensive way to test the look of something before going a more expensive route..

Pay a place that is very good with vinyl wraps to do it since the vinyl has a textured brush finish so you need it to be perfectly lined up the same down the entire side of the car.
I am planning to wrap my gloss black trim on the center console in brushed gunmetal from 3M. Since it is smaller I am going to take a shot at doing it myself first.

You are the best, Andrew...much love, man...
I'm really touched...I know it's a "gag" gift, so to speak, but it took some effort and was very nice of you to put together...
so thank you very much, man!

oh wow that is a lot bigger than i expected it to be... but even better!!! how's the quality on it???
ever since you made the comment on my thread...
i started looking around for places that does custom signs... when i finally found this place, it had decent reviews... a lot of the other sites just do crappy printing or don't offer aluminium...if they did, the price was usually insane... i tossed with putting your name on the sign or even putting a picture my white vagon on it with 'He should have gotten the stupid white one.' (Thanks B)
i really do hope you like it and hang it proudly in your garage... :hugs:
mine still hasn't arrived yet but i have to wait until the renovations are done to hang it anyway...

I definitely love the fact that it's all black and references my wagon and not yours!
It's great quality...the print is perfect with only a slight hint of different black where the cadillac emblem was applied...aluminum and built like it was going to be put up outdoors in a park or something...very very cool and awesome. Thanks again Andrew...
Jason's should be a sign that says bought 600hp rwd wagon, too scared to make tires chirp
Or 600HP 50K mile tire club

Thankfully while doing that the tires stayed fully contacted. those are great
