Default Made some Lexus Center Caps!

Ordered some Lexus 3D stickers off Ebay to put on my Niche wheel center caps.. Cheap mod but worked out pretty well! (Excuse the dirt, it snowed the other day...and ignore the horrible wheel well gap - dropping soon)

Popped off the caps, cleaned them with rubbing alcohol, heated them and the adhesive on the stickers with a blow dryer to ensure a good bond. These things are definitely not coming off haha.

Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4PCS-65mm-Wheel-Center-Hub-Caps-Badge-Emblem-Black-sticker-For-LEXUS-/332131331329?hash=item4d5491ed01:g:~6IAAOSwUKxYdFR2&vxp=mtr

Make sure to measure your aftermarket caps and get the right size decals. There are tons of sellers selling these same ones and similar ones in all different sizes.
