Ivory skull valve stem caps, they are going to go well with the center finish
Hardware soaking in vinegar / coke New dark titanium extended lugs and locks (look brownish in the sun) TPMS removed to make polishing easier, as well to clean the TPMS valves... and yes, I'm going to get new seals Dirty valve stem hole After 180 grit dry sand and some minor curbage repair After 180 grit dry sand, next up 320 dry sand Clean valve stem hole

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Also, as far as the center caps, I personally like the black/silver or black/gold more than the red/gold, since the majority of the LM reps out there come with the red/gold caps. My LM's came with the carbon fiber look black/sliver 'race track' caps, but I changed them up to the JDM style black/golds. |

Studs brought back to life, probably going to paint the tips and definitely using never-seez this time around
Kind of what the new lugs will look like

After 400 grit dry sanding
After 600 grit wet sanding Centers are with the powder coater. Waiting for warm weather to remove the rest of the wrap and paint the hardware.

I don't know how long you've had the studs, but if you're tracking with them, they're recommended to be replaced every 2-3 years, along with ss brake lines. Now may be a good time to sell your old studs to somebody for street use and get new ones?
