Whether the term engraved, stamped, or embossed is used the photos are clear that on the backside of the cap the word Dino is cut into the material. Because the caps are made of clear lexan and painted and silvered from the backside, the relief appears as negative on the back but is visible as positive (or raised) on the domed front side. Getting the dimensions of this detail perfect was probably the hardest part of the job but the reproduction caps are near on indistinguishable from original.Dino 246https://www.blogger.com/profile/15984039399690373889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846314917642465023.post-79634114739116327552013-08-04T18:38:11.035-04:002013-08-04T18:38:11.035-04:00Are you sure you mean "engraved" when de...Are you sure you mean "engraved" when describing the back side of the original? I don't see how that would raise the front. Engraving is a process of removing material. Do you mean "stamped" or "embossed"? That would push the lettering thru to the front side.

I chose to not skimp with it to assure I didn't shortchange myself. If you apply it with the wheel off the car and laid flat, you don't have to worry about any adhesion promoter running down the wheel hub.<br /><br />Also, make sure the center of your wheel hub (where you place the cap) is not domed. Test fit a cap to each wheel hub (without adhesion promoter) to see if it rocks. If it does, flatten the hub center's dome so the cap slides within its intended area and doesn't rock. That should assure proper contact along its entire perimeter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173120571151733490noreply@blogger.com
