The dealer service crew bashed up my hub caps (center caps) during the tire rotation/balancing at my 5000 mile service. Probably pounded the soft aluminum caps on with a rubber mallet.
They looked so bad the manager apologized and ordered 4 new ones for me, for which I was grateful.
Not wanting to trash the damaged ones, I removed the thin aluminum rings then carefully pounded out the dents from the back side of the rings with a wooden block and painted them black. You hardly notice the minor imperfections now.
They'll be my "goin' to the dealer" caps and I'll put the new ones on later after service. Or maybe just always use the black ones. I kind of like the look better than silver.

7/8ths
I really dig the design. Its light weight for sure. The powder coat looks great too. Shipping was crazy fast. Was done in less than 2 weeks.
I have a sunroof and it only covers maybe half of it.
I installed the wind visor in the lowest position and it rattled on my sunroof glass! Was pretty nerve racking the first time it happened. Loud!
I moved it up a notch and its fine now. Road/wind noise is hardly noticeable.
The Prinsu Awning mounts came with real shitty hardware though. I sheared two of the mounting bolts during install with very little torque.
Overall pretty happy with it though!

Tried on the early Trail roof racks before buyer picked them up. Regret setting in already, lol.

Did the 5100 shocks and struts upgrade today along with KYB top hats. Set them to +0.8” on front. It’s noticeably higher in the front. I will measure the difference once I get it aligned tomorrow. Definitely handles better with less nose dive on braking and wallowing in the curves.
