Anyone have an extra center cap they want to sell?

After getting my flat the other day, somewhere between 4WP and my work, the cap came off, so now I have one naked wheel.

I'd love to use it as an excuse to get the wheels I want, but unfortunately finances dont' allow for it right now.

I have got a whole bunch of centercaps over at my parents house. Not for certain they'll work, but you're welcome to one.

Any chance you'd bring one with you some day, and we can meet up for lunch again?

I wanna meet for lunch!

Tray

But the question is, are you cool enough?

Kidding, you're welcome to, but since Matt and I both work so close here, you'll have to come somewhere over by Flatirons.

Tray, I can bring it with me sometime. I think the next time I'm working in the office is Thursday, if I can get over to my parents between now and then and pick it up.
Dom, your welcome to go to lunch with us. We've only done it once so far, but typically around the flatirons is a good area to meet up for lunch. I take lunch at 11:30 usually.

Yeah, Thursdays don't work for me, I'll have to make another one.

My calendar is always open around lunch time. Seems that people like to have long lunches around here, so meetings aren't very popular.

I'm sure it isn't something we have to do ASAP though either Dom. I'm sure a center cap wouldn't take up all that much room in Matt's truck, and I've been without it for over a week already, so I am sure I can handle a little longer.

Any day but Tuesday or Thursday, those are the days that I am not near flatirons.

Well, it is supposed to snow tomorrow, so that means Matt may not be in to work at all this week.

What works best for you Matt?

How about next Monday. I know next Wednesday I'll be telecommuting again...

That works for me, I don't see a problem not making it, unless my boss decides to schedule me.

Tray

Works for me as well.

OK lets plan on Monday around 11:30-11:45 then. Anyone got preferences on restaurants? I know last time we went to QDoba, theres a few other good ones around too. Gotta be fast food though, my work is really strict about one hour lunch breaks.

Tray

No preferences here.

I don't keep my girlish figure by being picky about food.

well I am ALWAYS in the mood for some burritos, so how about QDoba or Chipotle? I'm ok with either. last time we ate at Chipotle, but I like QDoba too.

Tray

Works for me. I like Chipotle a little bit better, but QDoba is pretty dang good as well. Plus it's a little easier to park.

Just tell me where to meet you guys, food is food!

This still on? I'd say lets do Qdoba this time, since we did Chipotle last time. Dom, do you know where the QDoba at flatirons is?
I got a center cap, hopefully it'll work. I thought I had several sets of centercaps at home, from various wheel combos I've bought/sold, but I could only find one set, I think my brother took one... and I know Dom took the Lincoln set, LOL. Hopefully it'll work for ya. I didn't have time to clean it up and make it all purty.

I'm there. Qdoba at 11:40ish

As for being purdy, it'll surely be cleaner than the rest of my two-tone paint job.

By the way I've got the Buick today instead of the F-150. Can't argue iwth fuel efficiency sometimes :).

Well, I'll be in my Brown Supercrew today. Couldn't find the Grey one in the garage this morning.

So did the centercap work for you?

Tray

It's on.

Doesn't match up exactly, but it's much better than being naked.

Thanks Matt.


The OEM ones are all chrome plastic, where a portion of the new one is argent, while the rest is chrome. It's also shaped a little different where it meets up with the wheel. OEM ones curve at the base to meet, where the new one is flat, so has a little gap between it and the wheel.

But again, it is much better than it was, and I thank you a ton. If I ever find a super cheap exact replacement, I'll be sure to return it to ya.
