NOMAD 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Custom lettering to accompany my NOMAD bumper bullets up front. I'm really not in love with this and may end up taking them off. Link to post Share on other sites
NOMAD 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Next up is the GM made rubber floor mats. They are just okay. They fit nicely and the price was right on ebay. I just don't know how effective they will be in the snow. You can already see how dirty they are just from normal life. Link to post Share on other sites
NOMAD 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Next is, I vinyl covered the trim by the headlight. It's better than the factory flat black, but the vinyl doesn't match the paint exactly either. I just ordered some 3M black metallic vinyl and hopefully that will match better.

NOMAD 1 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Lastly, is I taped over the wheels with aluminum tape. Before I tackle the challenge of mounting some Mooneyes wheel covers on, I want to prove that there is some mpg gain to be had with smooth, solid wheels. I actually think that the tape doesn't look that bad, especially at a bit of a distance. So far, it is very inconclusive if there is going to be any mpg gain. Link to post Share on other sites
psquare75 35 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I thought the floor mats were great compared to the carpeted pieces. Pro-tip: Before putting your feet in, sit in the car with your feet hanging out and click your heels together as if you were going to Kansas. You'll shake most of the dirt off. This is a must in winter especially. Link to post Share on other sites

jibb3r 29 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 They fit nicely and the price was right on ebay. I was looking to get some of these, as my carpeted mats are nearly worn through at my heel points, after 6k miles. What is a 'right price', if I may ask? I've seen them for ~$90+ so far.

So far, it is very inconclusive if there is going to be any mpg gain I am not sure about the mpg gain but very sure that it will hinder breaking. Alloys are good over the old rims as they let more air to cool break pads. So if you cover them, after each breaking, disc will be much hot thatn it should be. I live in tropical environment so can't say about if this can be managed by winters there. LittleBlue! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
