wow I'm being prolific today --
I actually picked up some 1991 Honda Accord hubcaps from Ebay (I don't
like the 1992 hub caps even though I drive a 1992 Accord)... They came
packaged with Honda decals I had to apply.
I've gotten quite a few compliments on them. Its amazing really what a
good set of hubcaps does for a car's appearance.
Oh yeah I picked up the four hubcaps for around $50, which included
shipping.
And, I agree with Ray -- particularly with a Mitsubishi!
Personally I hate Mitsubishi's, and with good reason. Ex-gf had a 1986
Dodge Colt (mitsubishi) with a 5 speed -- she had to replace the tranny
at around 90k. Then another friend had a 1994 Hyundai Elantra
(mitsubishi tranny), with one kick *** little 1.8l dohc engine -- but
right at 60k (out of warranty) he had to replace the tranny (somehow it
got stuck in L1), and then his replacement tranny wouldn't go into
overdrive.
THEN, yet another ex-gf's dad had a 1993 Hyundai Sonata (mitsubishi
tranny) and his tranny went at around 90k.
