Arrow A Nice Cheap Mod!

I just got a set of centerlock dummy caps for my Porsche stock 5-star wheels. These caps replace the ones that typically would have the Porsche logo. These are great, they are from FVD. The red pin matches my break calipers perfectly.

I would recommend this mod to all those who have stock wheels and are looking for a different, racing inspired look.

The pic was taken with my Treo phone so it's not the best quality. See below for pic:

they are on the FVD website. http://www.fvd-web.com/fvd-usa/ Go to online shop, then wheels, then accessories.

It is removable very easily, opens right up.... Its pretty much the point of the cap though so if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't . I personally don't to be perfectly honest

Super D: Sure thing

Its a poser when a C2 puts a turbo front on or when a turbo puts a GT2 kit on...
WHO CARES!! People do it cause they like it, it doesn't matter what or who they are copying...

Modifying your car with a different bumper or wing is one thing. This is putting on center caps to look like racing wheels, but there are still those 5 lug bolts...reminds me of people who wear those clip-on suspenders on their suit pants, and also wear a belt.

Well obviously many people feel differently as we probably sell about 20 sets a month!! Also there are a quite a few other companies that sell them as well (Cargraphic). I am not saying its wrong for you to hate them, thats whats great about this country, we can all like somthing different, however calling them poser is not right... I don't see how its any different than a wing or bumper... They are making their car look like another car, just like making this wheel look like a racing wheel
Like I said though, its people's taste, I am sure he didn't do it to look like a racing wheel, but instead because he liked the way it looked...
Evan
PS-Keep in mind I said I don't like them so I really am not bias...

I must be the biggest poser of all then

I've got the centerlock dummies and the turbo bumpers/spoiler on my lowly C2!

My wheels are black and I had the lugs powdercoated black, just for this reason. Blends pretty well. I'm not trying to fool anyone. I think it just looks cool. Hell, 99% of the population has no idea what centerlock wheels are anyway.
