What I did today

Got my center caps the other day. Decided it was nice out and was going to install them. Had to get a new drill bit or 2 and a tap to make the holes to bolt them up. Here's the first one:



Should have made sure my cordless drill had a full charge though, didn't get much further than that. Also have these that will find there way into the center of the center caps:




When I ordered them I thought they were just stickers but there actually made of metal and need to be epoxied into place.

Nah, Ebay. LMC does have the center caps though. Didn't see the GMC logos though for the centers on LMC. LMC wanted $40 for the set plus shipping, Ebay had them for $45 with shipping, both the plastic ones. Those Logo were like $30 with shipping on Ebay.

Just discovered they have a peel off backing. Hopefully I won't have any problems with the first 2 I Epoxied. 3rd one was so much easier, still epoxied it. Didn't slide around like the 1st 2.
