This...except for the bit on the floor
Still have to peel off the overspray.




Thanks for the encouragement! One wheel and caliper down...unfortunately, I have to work the next 3 days, so the project must wait

Thought I would hate it. It even 'sounds' yucky…but I gotta admit it kind of fits the car.

The look is like little 'eyes peering back at ya'.

Where is a lady's opinion when you need it?

Why not? It's cheap, easy to apply, looks good, and peels off easily.
It's an experiment...if I like the matte black look, I may get them painted down the line.

It hadn't occurred to me that you wanted to be able to remove it easily- kind of at odds with the usual treatment of wheels. Thanks.
