Default My "custom" TT2 center caps.

I bought some brushed aluminum center caps from EBay. I then had a friend print me some logos on automotive vinyls with a polyurethane dome (think Last of the Breed emblems). What do y'all think. I'm not sure I like them.

I miss MBA as well. On my 99 Formula I had a billet shift **** with LS1 engraved. I always got compliments on it. I found on WS6Project they had a few left that were engraved "SS". I ordered one from them and its sitting at the house. Unfortunately I'm stuck in the gulf for a few more weeks...

FWIW Re MBA...Used to be a guy who bought out MBA's inventory, I have purchased a lot of mine from him, his info is Robert Kowalski Jr r-kowalski@sbcglobal.net
Good luck, not sure he has any left, if he does post here so others will know...


Edit, Robert emailed me and I have his MBA list of items he still has on hand, anyone that wants the list please IM w/your email address and put MBA list in the message and I will send you his list.
