I think that they look fantastic! The stock look is nice and everything, but--especially my car being white and all--the white look really gives it a nice bit of colour to the interior. I'd also changed out a burnt out light bulb in the cluster while I was in there, and had dusted the cluster out and cleaned the backside of the see through plastic.
I was thinking of doing the Bird logo on the center caps black, but thought that painting it white would give it a nice, understated look that makes the wheel cap stand out just a little bit more. I think that it still keeps the classy, understated nature of the cars, but also suggests a customization on an already rare car. I had masked the caps, and then put clear tape over the logo part, and then took an X-Acto knife and carefully trimmed it. While the paint was still wet, I removed the tape and took the X-Acto and carefully (and lightly) dragged it along the natural contours of the logo, so that it was even more accurate than just masking it off and cutting the tape.
