Swapped out the black OEM center caps for the red ones I got on Ebay. I got crafty and used Command velcro strips to easily pop them out without having to sweat in my garage taking the wheels off. Pretty impressed with the knockoffs actually, they were almost dead identical to the OEM ones...both made in Italy. Here is the final product:

Looks soooooo much better. It was such a subtle change but made a huge difference in the look. Just a few final touches and I will be done with this car
