    Thanks floridaoccifer for the write up. I had seen this done before
    and it was always in the back of my mind. After seeing 'fo's detailed
    post on how to with part numbers and all I pulled the trigger.
    I followed you post 100%, the only thing I added was when I was
    done with the trimming I laid out a sheet of sandpaper on the garage
    floor and in a circular pattern evened out the the legs I just trimmed.
    I left them about 1/16" of a inch longer then the retaining legs.
    Floridaoccifer, did you use the retaining ring/clip that came with the
    new caps or the old ones off your old caps? I used my old ones.
    While the new one was much larger I had problems trying to make it fit.

    I used the NEW clips and just put the majority of the retaining tabs in the hub area and then pressed the rest in, by hand, until I was able to slide the cap into locking position. With the new clip I could hear a positive SNAP when it was seated. The caps are certainly locked in place.

    Glad this is turning out to be a popular and cost effective mod for everyone. Like I said before I can not take credit for this I just explained it a little bit more in depth.

    I appreciate the positive input from everyone!

    ;)

    That's weird, I didn't have to modify mine to make them fit.:D

    For real though, they look great on the Sport and TRD wheels. I wish I had kept my extra set to put on my factory wheels.
