While waiting for the powder coated covers from Tom, I went ahead and spray painted my raw aluminum covers to match the car. Something different and adds a contrast to the black area…this was a test fit w/o the velcro tape.

I like it! Some colors probably work better than others, but I think that looks cool.

Thanks Tom! I thought it looked kinda cool too. I am wondering if the darker, richer hue colors would be the colors that would make it look cool.

Does anyone have a few photos of the Velcro application and install?

Perfect - thank you.
Glad to help. I thought about cutting a piece to the exact size of the plug but I found this way works and they will not fly off during driving. I speed-tested them to 125 but since they sit flush I do not see them coming out even at higher speeds. To remove them I just push down on one side and the other will rise enough for easy removal.

Working on adding an adjustable downforce wing to these so you can go 126+
Still haven't heard from quite a few folks on the list and have plenty left, so at this point I'll ship them out to anyone who asks for them -- first come first serve....

Received mine yesterday. They look great. A little better match than my painted raw ones posted earlier in this thread. Thanks for your time and efforts on this.
