Well, not really......
After not having the center caps on my wheels for a few weeks, I decided to make my own flying chicken.....instead of buying them. Excuse the crappy cell phone pics.
OEM center cap. I realized I had to grind it down, to get a smooth flat surface. Since its round, it wouldnt work with the material I was gonna use.
After grinding. I used the engraver at work, to get an even surface.
I used 1/16" engraved material for the chicken. The background is black (obviously), with the logo being brushed silver. You cant really tell from the picture though.
Not quite done, but almost.
Final product, after painting to match the wheels.
