Enkei RPF1 DIY center caps

[onehundredoctane]

For those of you with RPF1's you know by now how FUGLY the center caps are. Fake carbon fiber sticker with red writing on it, they're about as attractive as a "Type-HAR" badge if you ask me.

I've been wanting to find another center cap that was about the same size, noticed a lot of Honda guys are running 2003-2006 Accord center caps, that's all well and good but I have a 1997 S14. . .

At a friends houes the other day and noticed what he had done for center caps and it's so easy and cheap that I had to share!

First, go to Lowe's or Home Depot or any hardware store for that matter, find the electrical section and you'll find these circular metal plugs that are made for plugging electical conduit or electrical boxes. I found them for 0.77 each. First thing I did was scuff up the galvanized coating on them, then sprayed three layers of primer, then three layers of silver gray metallic (I'm sure this paint won't last forever, but this was strictly for testing a color match) I had laying around from a model car I built. The color is pretty close, the only thing I might add will be some Enkei logo's I'll have printed up at a local viynl shop, I think that'll really finish them off! I've attached a pic of them in primer, then painted and installed.

Hope you guys find this useful! If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
