Using the blue filled Latitude badge (and the fact that I'm a big fan of the NY Mets ... surprising, right?) as inspiration, I've started adding little touches of blue to my Omaha Orange Renegade. First, I added blue lug nut covers. Really happy with the look of this $7 mod!

I also have blue and white NYS license plates with the Mets logo on them and a small Mr. Met decal on the little window behind the back driver side door.

the blue lugs look cool with the orange paint esp. since you're a mets fan.

I really like those lug nut covers, can I ask where you got them? I'd like to get some red ones.

I got them on eBay from a seller in China. Here is a current listing:

They're listed for 9.99 or Make An Offer. I got them for 6.99.

Yes, 17mm.

Thank you both. This particular ebay seller did not have the red I wanted, but looks like other sellers do. The ones on Amazon will work too, but if I can get them cheaper on ebay I'll go that route.

You're welcome.


Keep in mind that the materials are different. Mine are hard plastic that look metallic and have little grippers on the inside so they stay on. The others are soft PVC (and some like that are silicone). I'm not sure what holds those other kind on, but when I looked into getting glow in the dark silicone ones, the seller told me they required some type of adhesive to hold them on. I didn't want any part of that. So, I went with the ones that stay on themselves.


Good luck!

Good info to know, unfortunately I ordered some before I read this. Like you, I don't want adhesive and I would not have ordered anything that specified that. However, I didn't think to ask either. I went back and checked the listing; It says chrome plastic and "Easy to fit,simply push down onto your bolts for a firm fit". We'll see, I'll report back when they arrive.

Those sound similar to mine.

My red lug nut covers arrived today. Snap on, no adhesive needed.

I almost did the red. But that's not me, I got the green glow!! They are silicone, but while bored at work, I popped one on a loose lug stud I had and proceeded to toss it around.. Put them on my TH and no movement. Took it through a little mud spot I frequent (after it rains) and they stayed on like a champ. I may have checked soon after I was playing in the muck to make sure they didn't move. No glue needed. Just hope no one feels the desire to steal them???????

ooh, I like those green ones txjeeper. Nice!

Interesting .. I'm not sure how I feel about those.

Got some silicone covers from Amazon and used this blue/green chameleon plastidip to make my own color.
