Wings down center cap
Looking for some feedback on these wings down emblems for rally 2 center caps. Adhesion on back is very good. Plus can be removed wirh a hair dryer. Would be a nice alternative plus cover old faded centers. $60 / 4?? Thx nick.

I like the idea , but not the execution. It does looks like you stuck an emblem over the center cap emblem.
It looks like the wings down disc is smaller than the opening in the cap. Is that the case? If so I would just leave the PMD inserts showing. If it were my car. Now if the wings down disc is the same size as the cap opening I would flip the PMD insert flat side up so that there is depression to install the Bird emblems in yet keeping the inserts flush with the curved face of the cap. That would probably look cool.

I don't care for it. But I am a purist. I'd say that's just plain wrong. (not to be snarky)

I think the idea is cool and I really like custom touches like that. However, I would never purchase that product because it's somewhat of an afterthought to me and I don't like tacked on parts.
Make an actual center cap with that graphic as the proper insert and I would buy them.

The wheel is a pretty harsh environment for an adhesive emblem. I'd be concerned about long term durability. But for show, sure, some people will really like them especially is they are flush with the cap. I'm a purist and like the PMD caps. I even use the correct '69 Bird PMD shifter button instead of the wings down button that I see on many cars.

I'd rock them babies on a lightly modified car
maybe with Cragar S/S or Keystone Raider wheels on it. |

Where did you find them? I think I like, with a little work.
