Default Need some help with ole HOSS

Kind of odd how both of these things happend but here it goes. I guess with time, heat, and bumpy pasadena roads the torq thrust screws came off and only 1 stayed on. so the hub cap rubbed on 3 of the 5 spokes. I was wondering who around here could help touch up possibly re do the rim. This car is too special for the sharpie. Also just noticed this last night.the bottom clip from the centermount exhaust is loose. I'm sure it has something to do with the double sided strip. It kind of sucks for me right now because I have a cast on and really cant do a dam thing. Let me know somethin.- Trey

The CME valence came with two different thickness tapes. A thin one for the sides, and a thicker roll for the rear. I suppose that roll could work for both.

Sucks to hear about the centercap coming loose, I never trusted those dang screws either.

Locktite for the screws! Double-sided tape can be found at any hardware store.


Peace,
Craig.

Thanks for the help guys. I ordered 2 sets of torq thru screw sets and another polished hub cap. I tried some cheap double sided tape but i got to go to the hardware store to find something a little stronger. Also my cast comes off tomorrow so i should be able to do it myself.
