Valve stem caps

So, yeah...not the *biggest* mod ever.

BUT.

How hard do you think it would be (I don't have a set, but am considering it if I can do what I'm thinking) to put a different epoxy'ed graphic on them? You know what I mean...the valve stem caps that have the MINI logo, or checkers, or UJ...

They just look like teeny center caps, right?

I'm having one of those moments that I had just before I spent 6 weeks gathering parts for my driving light install...

True, if you happen to like the designs available. Something tells me Melissa has something up her sleeve?

I can't wait to see what you've got going on. I am such a sucker for the details....things you notice after you've been looking at a car for 20 minutes.

I'll be checking for pics!
