Pimp My Otto! You Vote!!!

So I'm tooling up and down the isles in the local 99 cent store and what do I see? Valve stem caps!!!

So which should I get? Red? Blue? Silver? Or the ones that show the air pressure?

You vote and in one week I will buy and install the caps with the most votes.




Pimp My Otto!

In the absence of plain Schrader valvestem caps, I vote tire pressure. At least they're good for more than being rice.

On my car, I'd put the blue ones on. I'll dig through posts for pics of yours in the next week, and see.

Buy all four types, and use one of each!





















I'd go with silver.

Buy the silver. The colors will fade out to silver anyways. I bought cheap black ones and they faded to silver in 6 months.

Actually I think he should get the curb feelers down at the end of the 99 cent isle instead. Those 944 fenders need some help in negotiating objects. Much better value for his 99 cents!
