Lost a hubcap...need opinions
So i lost a hubcap today after I spent 7 hours....that's right 7SEVEN7 HOURS washing, buffing, claying, waxing my car. Frustrating I tell ya'.

So my question is this...where can I find a cheap replacement OEM hubcap? Or should I just rock the steelies on the NHBP? Wheels and a drop are scheduled for the spring so is it even worth it to replace the hubs?

If anyone's got a spare hubcap or whatever hit me up...

for the time being i would rock the steelies so it matches the nhbp until you have money to buy a nice set of wheels.

if you actually had read the post, you would have seen the part where I said "Wheels and a drop are scheduled for the spring "...

They're only like $20 from College Hills Honda, get a new one or go for the cheap look and take them off all the way around.

Price? I was planning on ordering some Buddy Club P2's come spring...but for a good price+shipping I might go for NR's

and CHH has the hubs for $65 is this is the correct item I'm looking at College Hills Honda Parts

Rock the steelies until you do the drop and get wheels, your car will probably actually look pretty cool on steelies anyway.

Get the wheel cover replacement. You look really ghetto with no hubs at all. You still have what? 6 mos. before you buy new wheels? Just replace the hub cap and move on. If you have to spend $20 on all 4, do that.

Just leave the rest off. A little polish and wax keeps the rims shiny. I've been running no hubcaps on my MR base for a while now. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen an uglier stock hubcap, and the cheapset price I've found on them was $46 each. WTF?
