thanks - ive always thought the proton would look good on black rims but i might try to leave that center cap chrome jsut to be different and i think it might look good - ive blacked out what badges i didnt take off and the lights when i got the vx - the wheels are the last piece - you're sure this stuff comes off later?

Nah, rims with lotsa offset ... the dish is so deep that the brushed finish is always in shadow - looks like it's blacked out!

I've never plasticoated anything so can't guide you on the peel-off aspects.

three small bolts hold the center cap onto the rim, no big deal at all to remove them so you can spray the wheels and later reattach the caps.

There is a groove were the cap seats. That's the beauty of this stuff. You don't have to take that cap off if you don't want to. Just peel it off. It will break itself off at the groove!

i want to do mine but leave the isuzu center cap chrome - it can be taken out right? - ive had my wheels off a few time but never popped the cap out - anyone how how or if its hard to do

Yeh...it'd be purdy hard to change tires otherwise...

Yes, they come out. I've never had OEM rims since I've owned the Proton so I can't tell you how they are attached (prolly just a lip holds them against the rim, but may have a cupla screws or a clip ring). It should be real easy though.

Yep 00's & 01's...screw on from tha back

99's screw on from tha front
