ill get up on my ladder and take some pics tomorrow or later today tommy. I was about to pull the trigger on getting the wheel stud conversion. That might be my next thing on the list. I was thinking since the Honda s2000 lug fit on our ball seat for our wheels, that I might take a dremel to the top and chop it off so it'll be an open lug nut.

If you could, please either hang glide in or parachute off a building, so that we can get true pics from right above the hood.
As in the past, if you track down a good open-ended ball seat lugnut, let me know. I'm dying for something more interesting than what I have, short of doing custom work, which scares me, since these do see snowy winters and I don't want to have to deal with rust on them.
