That is one thing I want to change. I immediately didn't like the center caps being the same color...I'll come up with else something else soon.

Or even a small arrowhead badge, or sticker. Just needs something in the middle...

Been following this thread for a while. Looks good completed but yeah, centercaps would help.

I was planning to get some pontiac logo decals to put in the center, I had no intention to leave them blank. But I'm not sure that I like them being white. We'll see though, I'll have something on the centers soon. :wink:

Instead of the Pontiac logo why don't you get a logo that says "BOOZE"

I actually like the holes you had filled but thats moot...overall I'd say the look is good, mostly because it fits the theme of the car so well.

For center cap decals I've ordered many sets from www.eu-decals.com They are located in Athens, Greece, and delivery comes by mail and takes several weeks, but the high quality domed decals he produces are first rate, and I havent found anywhere else that can touch his prices. Especially given that he will custom produce full sets of decals from almost any clean jpeg image you want to use.

The latest set on Bonnie right now came from this image...

You can even specify different colors for background or various parts of the image. I've never been disappointed with any set I've received.
