I have a set of silver ones that I might be willing to sell.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm looking for something with a better fit than the original ones.



I found a set on Ebay that I'm going to try. The measurements should make for a tight fit. If they fit well, a coat of paint should make for a reasonable replacement cap. I'll let you guys know how it goes when they get here.


Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-No-LOGO-W...7f4a31&vxp=mtr

Got the eBay center caps in today and they fit! It's a very tight fit too. Now just a coat of paint to match and they'll be set.

The inside jaws are too shallow to reach and get an accurate measurement. That's the closest I could get with what tools I have.

No worries man.

I've found paint to match, a matte clear coat, and ordered some stock appearing Honda centercap stickers to try and make the new ones look fairly OEM. I will post pics of that too once its all done and on the car.

Here is the final look. I painted the caps with as close of a color as I could find. Then I ordered some honda center cap stickers from here.



Lastly I used a matte clear coat that I found at a local hobby shop. I forgot to snap a pic after the clear coat though. And here they are on the car. Not perfect by any means, but it looks better than the TRM ones and they sure as hell wont come off on their own.
