Got these for the Sport's wheels.....

My OE Wheels (the brand) 10th Ann. Cobra wheels came with OE Caps with Cobras on them. I saw these the other day and thought they would be a little more appropriate on the Sport. I'll install them tomorrow....

they look better than the cobra caps and like you said, will be a little more appropriate.. but me, i'd rather have 1's that say ford or a black set to molest and put a small bird emblem in each 1.. hmm.. i need cobra r's lol

I have thought of that.If I can find some caps that will allow me to do that,I'll put my original design back on the wheels. I will see if they have caps that can be "personalized".

You would think that they would offer Tbird and Cougar center cap for mustang wheels sence they fit our cars. Especially the four lug wheels.

The demand is probably so small that it isn't cost effective. That's why anybody wanting to make parts for us,like head lights,spoilers,etc, has to charge so much that we can't afford it,and the time and effort for the return is so small,we end up right where we started.....finding parts at salvage yards,from each other,or using from other models like Mustangs,etc.

It sucks but at least it will make our cars more valuable in the furture.

I figure with my Bird being a Sport, all the parts I've installed, the fact that everything is functioning great, it gets good MPG's on the highway, looks nice,and all of the sentimental value, it's probably worth about $63,437.00. Give or take a couple of hundred bucks.
