I didn't want the carbon fiber look, as far as I know the low center caps have the carbon fiber.

Mine are the new Version II - GT Series




Here are the others I know of for the GT wheels:

You guys can pick your center caps when you order from us. It's very much personal preference, and I think some caps look better on certain colors as well.

Thanks all,

Rubbing problem solved, go back to post #1 for pics

I cut the lining about 1*13" out of the top outer lip and had to trim about 1/8" off the inner rear bumper mounting tab, just behind at the seam, about 2 O'clock position on the driver’s side. As you can see in the pic, it barely rubbed at all; it only made two shinny strips on the felt like lining and took off about 1/16" of paint on the bumper mount tab. I just got back from a short test and no rubbing, at least not yet. The material seems to be the same as the lining under the trunk.

Nice work. I just ripped the whole damn thing out but mine was probably rubbing worse than yours.

Did you all see the pic I added to post #1 of this thread? I added a pic of how much I cut out up close and one next to a yard stick.
