My Roadmaster with the new hubcaps.

*low whistle*.... looks good

That does look good. Those hubcaps look much better on a woody with the fat white walls than, well, on anything else lol

Is that factory wood? looks nice! Will you put some Buick shields in the center hubcap area?

Very nice looking. Not a whole lot of dark-colored roadies out there.

I do have 2 buick emblems to fit in the middle of the hubcaps. good idea.

Factory wood indeed.

For some reason the pic is not working for me... Hmmm.

Looks good to me,get hassled much with that dark tint?

That tint is quite dark. What %?

Looks super dark, like 5%.

Thats what I was thinking.

5% front 35%

5% front 35%

Cops stopped me once. said 30 bucks a window, but let me go. when I see a cop I lower the front windows.

I also lower my front windows. And those look dark for 35! I like.

Careful... those caps will fly off with a strong sneeze. I went through 7 of them one winter. Yes, I used to drive like a maniac when I was Ray's age...

Why you gotta single me out, maaaaan?

Pics work today....ok then.

Those Chevy caps look good! I always liked those a lot, still are some of the better looking hubcaps GM offered....and some of the last real metal ones!

Looks TONS better than if you'd put on those lowrider wheels! Nice job!

Lookin' sharp! I put those hubcaps on my red Caprice, and I can second what Jay said. I lost 3 hubcaps on 2 different wheels in the 4 months I owned it. And I do not drive like a maniac. I bent the tabs out with a pliers and that seemed to stop them from falling off. Oddly enough it was under very low speed turns that they would fall off. Like in parking lots and stuff. So, uh, can you see out of the car windows at night, or is it like driving a cargo van? lol!

I had my '89 Custom Cruiser tinted too dark as well. Didn't mean to go so dark, went to a new shop, and it was BLACK. I actually went back to my normal place and had them re-do the rear window one shade lighter.....so the auto-dimming mirror would work again!


On my Roady I just went to legal Texas limits. Still dark but I can see out fine.

Looks great! DCM woody is certainly a favorite of mine. Those caps work well too.

I had a set of knockoff caps like those on my Caprice, they stayed on much better than the factory ones had a reputation for.

I also have black windows im my caprice, sometimes I also have problems with cops because it's completely illegal to have tinted front driver and passenger windows.

Cops can suck it lol. Tints look cool Although now that I said that I'll probably get another tint ticket for my 17%

POLISH THAT TRIM!!!!!!

The trim is so beat up, I might paint them black and tan to match the top. it was hard at first to see but I got use to looking out the rear windows. I bought the car off a young black kid he also put a load radio system in it lol. 800 bucks lol

Marcinv8, did you add the chrome around the wheel wells on the black caprice? im in love with it. tint the front lights alittle. or get the sto covers.

Im pretty sure thats factory caprice trim. Caprice has chrome, Impala has body colored

I bought this car with the chrome parts on it so I think this is stock. I will have to think about headlight covers

You miss the point. I am jealous. I miss being your age.

You youngins wait until you hit 50 or so and see if you still like that dark tint especially at night.
Sooner or later you will realize your eyes dont use the light like they use too.

Exactly why I want it while I can still see out!

Shoot Jim if you don't tint them here not only will the a/c never cool the car down but the inside totally burns up. It's not a style thing here......well not "only" a style thing...

Guess down there its a necessity but it is here too.I just cant go too dark up front anymore!

Tell me about it. Drove 75 miles to Boston. Not a problem. Soon as I get onto my street doing 15 bam, one rolls past me
