My friend that runs a body shop did it for me...he used the same paint as my stripes, which also are the same color as the wheels...he found a paint code that matched the wheels...

What did you paint?
They look like the stock FORD center caps that came with most GT's. Did you paint the silver silver? Or was the blue repainted?

I kinda figured these questions would come, lol...so the stock cap is actually a bright silver color and the rim itself is much darker on the anthracite colored bullit wheels...so because the center caps don't really match, we painted the inner circle area the anthracite color and the outer ring was left the same color it was before and then we clearcoated over all of it...yes its a small touch, but a small touch well worth it in my opinion...mine is on the left and the stock on is on the right...its small but I think you can see the definite color difference...

You guys don't see it? The ring is a completely different color, and the coloring around the FORD symbol is a darker color than the stock center cap. Its basically a mini version of his rims...
Maybe a side by side comparison will help you guys:

Thanks, I think little things can make all the difference and still keep my car on the sleeper car type level...
