Default Valve Stem Caps

I know this is really minor as far as mods go but has anyone put the Hemi Logo Valve Stem Caps on their wheels? I order a set and put them on and I think they look great. Of course they are so small that most people won't notice them but I love knowing they are there and look good. I got them from here http://www.gregsonline.com/eshop/Htm...caps/LC132.htm

Just a neat little mod that is really cheap and can set your wheels apart from others.

I moved this to General discussion since you have nothing for sale.

It may be a small mod, but those are the ones that set you apart from the others. I'm big on keeping my under body clean. Usually once a month i will power wash the under body and rattle can the rear end, tow hitch, front end, and drive shaft black. It's a small cheap way to keep the under body looking good, but it sets me apart from the others. Another small mod that i usually do to my cars is painting the calipers. I like the pop it gives for the price of the mod it sets you apart. It's on my to do list for this truck.

Nice! I, for one can't stand the cheapo black plastic caps.

I didn't go as far as you did, but have plasticized chrome ones from Wally World that go for about a buck per set of four on both my vehicles.

I watch mine like a hawk, and I do not go to the mall! thats' a sure fire way too attract the bad element, which gives me an idea. I would watch my rig from an old van nearby, drink some brews and wait. Designated drivers all around of course.

Guys, be careful of the ALL metal caps that have no plastic screw inserts in them. I purchased a set of cheap caps that actually welded themselves to my valvestems on my Cheby. i had to dremel them off and ended up cutting a little into each valve stem which made re-installing caps a PIA eachtime I checked my pressure because of the cut in them. The stems were just rotating when I used pliers and I couldn't get a good grip on them without fear of scoring them or my wheels. I'd put a dab of anti-seize on them if they are all metal or if they have a plastic insert than you are fine without anything.
