Turbo wheel ctr caps

These plastic turbo center caps (black emblems) sure go to crap in short order. May be time to upgrade. Notice Suncoast has some center caps both with black or full color crests for $40-43 each and some special metal full color ones $110 each that may match the turbo wheel finish better than plastic. Seems 110 ea a bit pricey....whats the experience curve out there, are most staying with the factory plastic replacements

I changed mine to the plastic with full color. The gray color is just slightly off, not really that noticible unless you are looking for it. The service dept. put one on so I could see what it looked like before I bought them. I like it. I'll go snap a pic for you and put it up soon.

Make sure the wheel cleaner you use is safe on all wheels like a P21S or it will fade them fast.

Good point I forgot to consider when cleaning wheels. Never hear of the P215 is that a Walmart item or something found only at car parts places??

Booth designs makes a center cap that turns in the wheel so it is always straight.

See the video. No turn technology.

Since your in Florida you can pick it up in Boca a Palm Beach motoring! Proper Auto care or Auto Geek. You can also order through the mail. Detailers Domain is really good and has fast shipping. Buying out of state will save the sales tax.

Depending on car colour either will compliment different.
The metal full colour crests sold at suncoast are fantastic (made in Germany)
real metal caps that will definitely add appeal.

(The plastic stock B&W caps are actually made in Italy.)
