Yea, i'm definitely getting it painted. I will try the claybar though anyway, to help it look better for the time being.

Got tired of the Drag center caps. I wanted Honda center caps, but there's nothing available in black, only silver which would look out of place.
So, I was looking on eBay and found some decent looking knock-off Honda logo center cap stickers that were the exact same size and type of sticker that the Drag logo stickers already on the caps I have were. So I bought these, peeled the old stickers off the center caps, and replaced with these. They're a rubber-like material with metal on the back and then adhesive on it, just like the Drag stickers were. They turned out looking great, the Honda emblem looks legit. Here they are installed (first two pictures the emblems look distorted for some reason, possibly due to lighting in the garage.)

About 18 bucks. A little expensive for what are essentially some fancy stickers, but it's a good deal considering it solves my center cap dilemma. If I had been able to find black OEM Honda center caps (I don't even know if they exist), they would have cost me much more than that.

So after being chased around with the Buddy Club lug nuts for over a month, I found out that the seller and most other sellers have NO idea what they are talking about and they all have bad descriptions. There are no such thing as black P-1 lug nuts, they only come in bronze, but everyone advertises black ones for sale. Turns out, these people are extremely confused and the lug nuts they send you are the black Chromoly ones, not the P-1's, and the descriptions are of the P-1's but they still send the Chromoly ones.
Anyway, I spent a few more bucks because I wanted the same style, so I got 5zigen extended lugs. This is actually better because one lug per wheel is a locking lug nut with a spline sticking out of the hex. They're advertised as "titanium" colored.
I think that eventually i'll get some ARP extended wheel studs... after turbo/paint/etc., while i'm working on suspension and brakes.
Here they are (sh!tty pics)

Got some better pics today. I'm amazed at how good the focus on the last picture is... it's a camera phone.
