Hey guys, here is a little project I have been working on for my Strada. I have abarth wheels on it BUT I cannot find the caps for them. I have been looking two years for them so I decided to design copies and have them made. I am a Pharmaceutical Mechanical Project Engineer (year, it's a mouthful, takes up the whole top of my buisness card) so I felt if any one could make it, it was me. I designed the model in SolidWorks and sent it out to my machine shop to make. I am so happy with the results! The car looks great and I have my wheel caps! They are made of aluminum and clear anodized, not the brittle plastic that they came. The snap on and take a great deal of force to come off. What you think:

Thank you all! Yes I can design an intake. Sadly, that's the easy part. It's all about how much it will cost to manufacture. That is not cheap.
