i got an 01 GT with Cobra rims. i have want to take out the cobra emblem in the middle of the rims. is there any easy way to do this or should i just go to a shop?

If i wanted to go to a shop does anyone know a good shop that will not rip me off near san leandro?

Last question, does anyone know a custom shop in which i would put my own design emblem in the middle of the rims?

that middle emblem clips in, take the rim off the car and you'll see how to pop it off from the back.

They pop put like 03svt said, if you dont want to remove the wheels, a really thin screwdriver will do it but risk damaging the paint and or chrome on the wheel. Best bet to pop it out from the back.

Also if you had the gt premium wheels before you got the cobras, your running pony caps will fit; they just sit in a little further, still looks good to me. [patriot]
