I definitely like the SVT caps the best, but after that it's the ponies. The FRs are just too plain/light imo.

That sucks. I hate it when stupid stuff goes wrong like that.
I rode on that Galant today, and after 11 years it still smells like a new car The owner is a very meticulous guy. Checks everything, changes oil & filter regularly, he rarely rolls down the windows, and most importantly, he doesn't eat, drink or smoke inside the car. He's always been like that with his vehicles. Before that car he had a 95 mirage that was immaculate. Now he factory ordered a brand new Wrangler and it will be delivered next month. I don't like much those Galants, but I wouldn't mind owning that one. But I'm told he won't sell it at the moment.

I like the Ford Racing caps myself. Give the wheels more of a HRE look with the matching finish caps. Makes the wheels look alot better to me.


Will those caps fit in the 10th Cobra wheels I got. I noticed I've got some busted caps and I need to find replacements. Where'd you get them Jim?

Yeah, I was kinda leaning to the Ford Racing caps too. It's just something a lil different.

They are for a 2.75" hole. If I'm reading the FRPP catalog correctly the should fit the 10th anni rims you have. The part number for the FRPP 10th anni rims is M-1007-A179 and the canter cap part number is M-1069-FR. They just won't match the darker color of those rims, but they still may look nice.

I got them from Mustangs Unlimited.

The funny thing is I ordered these back in the fall, I ordered the Ford Racing ones and then the ones for the 01 Bullitt & then the ones for the 03 MACH 1. They are two different part numbers and the MACH 1's are almost twice the money, but I wasn't sure which ones would fit. When I got them there was no difference at all, same cap but different price

In the past I had seen another car with the pony tri-bar center caps. But I also found Ford Racing ones that I like too. So I ordered one of each and installed them.

What ones would you all go with? My GF likes the Ford Racing ones. I dunno what I'm liking the best.

Here is what I have issues with:

1) The Pony caps are a touch thicker than the SVT ones so the stick out just a slight amount, but you can only see it if you get real close.

2) The Ford Racing ones are the same thickness so that works good, but the silver is different. The rims are a brushed finish and the center caps are more of a metallic silver paint.

Here are some pics I took of the three:
Ford Racing:
Go with these and you can never lose. I love the look of these. They give the wheels a much more cleaner look to them.

Gary - did you swap out your rear side markers? I didn't get to do those yet, it was getting late and it looks like I have to remove the rear wheels to get to the lamp. Is that true, or is there another way?

Nope. You pop them out from the oustide. At least I did. I wrapped a flathead screwdriver in a soft rag and pried the lens cover out. I can't remember if it was the front end or the back end of the lens though. I'll look later.
