I think Thunderbhird blue would look great on your car Spence. I'll bet they ave them or can paint them in that color.

Joe: It is a really easy install. Taking off the wheels was the hardest part.

I think black may get lost in the darkness of the wheel well. Red or another color stands out. Blue for a blue car, matching the car color is a good alternative, IMHO.

It is especially easy, if you pay someone else to do it.
In that case, knowing David, I'd say the hardest part was handing the guy a 20 dollar bill.
Seriously, they look good, David.

I finally got mine installed. Silver on my cashmere bird. I love them but were a pain on the 16 spoke wheels. My Ford dealer installed them for 30.00 total. Had to get wheel spacers to make them fit on 16 spoke wheels.
Ever since I painted the T-Bird logo on my wheel covers turquoise and ended up with extra paint I've thought about painting the calipers the same (turquoise) color. Think it would be too much?
I think alot depends on what wheels you have. My calipers were painted red when I bought the car. The original owner had done it. With the 16 spoke wheels, I believe it's hard to notice, as I've had very few people comment about them. But with the 7 spoke wheels, I believe they show up better. Is the idea of these covers to hide rust? Or to keep them from rusting or is it just another gimic? Leroy
