aman – I made the hub caps (and you can too) as a fill in until I get wheels in the spring. Here is how, really freakin easy:
Materials:
2 Cans of Semi Gloss Black Plastic Spray Paint (I used Valspar plastic paint)
1 can of primer
400 or 500 grit sandpaper
Dishwashing soap
Cotton Towels
Tack Cloth
I removed the hub caps. The emblems pop right off, because they are just clicked in with a tooth. Washed the hub caps in my kitchen sink with Dishwashing soap that said “tough on grease”. Made sure to clean every corner and surface. Dried with the Cotton towels. Sanded with the sandpaper. Just ruffed up every face on the surface. You can see it get hazy and feel smooth, Rinsed. Dried again with towels. Wiped with tack cloth. Set on boards on top to sawhorses and sprayed a light coat of the primer. Then spray many light coats with the black. Just started at one wheel and went down the line until it had a nice thick even coat. Dried in 24hrs. I did this the Friday before Christmas, beer in hand and it took me about 2hrs and I went slow.

Very nice so far.
It sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you. It's fun work though.
I too did the black hub caps thing when I was running my stock wheels. Thought I had a picture of it like that but I cannot find one. :?

moonroof was $1900 and the dealer (stealer) drove the car to a local company who cut it out and redid the headliner. You can get one done by an after market company for like $1200, BUT I wanted the dealer to warranty that item.
