Title: Thunderbird Centercaps
Post by: dragon574444 on January 20, 2012, 03:24:58 PM
Does anyone have a set of Thunderbird centercaps for the stock wire wheels? I've been using Cougar caps for the past 3 months or so, I'd like to fix that. I'd be happy to do a straight trade for them, or just give me a price. I have paypal, zipcode is 06331. Thanks

If not, gently wet sand the black plastic which will remove the Cougar emblem that is printed on..., then using metal or plastic polish, polish the caps back to a gloss, then apply some vinyl Thunderbird graphics. Cheap and easy.

That would certainly work, I might go that route if no one here has a set they're willing to part with. I'm not sure where I'd get any vinyl graphics though.

Any sign shop can make them (or vinyl graphics shop). They have access to different logos and such. The guy I go to can make them for $10.00 or so.  Call around your area.

Thanks for the link, those look very nice. They're a bit more than I want to spend though, my car isn't pretty enough for NOS parts ;)

I have centercaps but they are off my 87 bird.
