autobot 3rd gen?

Looking for 3rd gen center caps for C5 wheels and possibly a steering wheel option for the autobot symbol. Any ideas?

Re: autobot 3rd gen?

I'm making mine a Decepticon, I'm having the Decepticon symbol on the front instead of the Chevy one (broke in half anyways). I'm also putting the phrase "to punish and enslave..." above each of the back wheels like what Barricade has (the cop car). Your car looks really nice!!!

Personally I think that thirdgens are more of a Decepticon vehicle type due to their sharp edges and angles. Think black with purple in and out. Very decepticon like. 4th gens can be the lady bots. And 1st gens can be the elders. BAM.
