Default v6 spinners on gt take offs?

How do you do it.? I dont know how to go about doing it without taking the wheel off and popping the old cap offfrom behind. I think they'll look really good. Anyone do this, or have neideas?

I myself have also thought about doing this, although I also haven't a clue about how to remove the stock cap.
Post pics if it works!

Yes, it's best to take each wheel off and pop them off from behind with a wooden dowel or the butt of your rubber handled hammer. They pop right out so be careful and make sure they land on something soft and non-abrasive so they don't get scratched up.
The spinners, if you have them, go on in few steps. Just follow the directions. It'sa piece of cake.
I would not try to pry them out from the front of the wheel in any case. They are plastic.

Extremely light plastic and fragile. Pop them out from behind like Wolfey says.

Might be getting a set from my salesman next week (he says they're around a $100 a set!).

Can't weigh more than an ounce or two each.

Notlike the wire wheel covers and spinners on the 1964 Corvair, they weighed about 20 pounds each and had to balance the tires with them on!
