as for the escutcheon covers....
I made some stainless steel escutcheon covers that I could easily do again, if you are interested let me know and I'll get you some pics of mine installed. I just used 3M emblem double stick tape to install them.
I believe I made an extra set and put them in the trunk! Maybe we could work out a trade for the Weld Lugs nuts!!
I'm not some basement metal tinkerer (is that a word?) but I have been a machinist for almost 6 years now and have access to lotsa nice toys at work!!
