Thank goodness you are not running around with your nuts exposed any longer!

It just looks better when your nuts are covered!

I was always a fan of the carbon fiber center cap myself to be honest however, but it certainly beats the alternative :wink:

Im glad the both of you all agree with me on those chrome center caps are the best, lol! but to be honest with you all...i liek the 02-03 rims waaay better! those rims and the badges give the car a more sexier look. i may do what haro did with his car and make my car look like an 02-03, but just on the outside....oh yeah i also forgot, ill have to change my pipes as well! i cant stand those fat ugly pipes i have on the back. they gotta go!

Swoopies look cool no matter what caps they have, especially rolling slowly.
If I had a 2000+ that wasn't a GXP, I'd put swoopies on it no matter what
it came with originally. I just like 'em. Nice ride and pics BTW.
