I'm jealous that you don't have any visible rust!

Car is starting to come along. Keep up the modding

Gotcha. I think you'll need a Torx bit, maybe a T45 but I'm just throwing numbers out there.

Seriously man, I had a very similar dent and it comes out fairly well (there will be a crease on your body line though I'm sure)

Lookin good though man. And yes, I can see that they are hubcaps.

Looks good so far! You've really improved it from what it was even though it's only been small things. Keep it up

I've taken those out with a screw driver before. I'm not saying it's the right way to do it, but if you have a screw driver that fits in there between the teeth of the torx head, you can take it out. Just be careful not to strip it.

Lola's lookin pretty good. Love the wheels.....er....hub caps. For $29 hub caps, they look okay. Too bad about the dent.

Over all... good work!
