make them yourself. autotrimdesign.net offers them pre made. Or you can get some white vinyl and make them yourself. you can make them any style you like and can paint them to color match.

good luck with that, i tried that and they helped me choose wich they say they really dont but they dont have a direct red for the victory red. as for sport red i dont know. but the victory red matches that i bought didnt match at all. i ended up painting them on i just used tape and made ones i liked and used gm match paint.

yep any more questions just ask. and again good luck on the eyelids

the wheels, um yes and no lol. i did some myslef then i had a garage do them. i tried using the wheel coating paint you can buy at like autozone, turned out really good. but i got a great deal for powder coating so i took it up, only problem was i used degreaser that was not deluted and was really strong so i have to take them back in. but i mean if you dont want to spend alot to have them powder coated try that coating stuff out. like i said i was actually happy with it. as long asd you put some nice thick couple of coats it shouldnt scrath too bad. i smacked the torgue wrench off it by accident and it left no marks at all.

um honestly i have no idea. i got mine done for next to nothing. there was someone on here who said he got it done for 25 a wheel. and everyone said that was a great deal. so im sure over 100 bills very easily. best bet start a thread asking or to find out or search for one about powdercoating, or just try to find somewhere around where you live and call them and ask.

Everything I have read is in the vicinity of 50-75 a wheel plus the cost of the coating
