if you do a cutout it will look like ass

better to get a computer room tile suction cup and
use that to pop the covers on and off rapidly

Very creative idea!

I had moons on my 66 Mustang and took them to a proshop for them to cut the valve stem holes. I made sure that I had chrome stems and chrome valve stem caps. If done right they really don't look too shabby at all. You need to decide if you have the funds to replace a cover if you hose it up doing it yourself.

well thats what im saying im not gonna try to diy just was asking on here first i have a friends who might know a place that does great work but now that i heard that uve done it thats cool

did they still stay on with the same snugness after u cut them ?
and was there ample room to get a pressure gauge in there ?
and would you happen to have a pic with the holes cut ? if not no bigg

that is pretty cool but i would just be afraid that if you keep taking them on a off the clips will eventually become weaker although its not like id have to take them off many times in a row
