Question Stock FD wheel center caps

I am planning to purchase Efini center caps for my stock wheels and want to know if the original caps can be easily pop out with a screw driver or do you have to jack the car up, take off the wheels and unsrew them from behind.

Thanks

They pop out from behind. but if you do not care to keep them nice to sell or trade , you could mar them up by forceing a small screwdriver in and pop them out .

Just spend the extra 1/2 hour and take off the wheels to pop out the original caps from behind. You can sell the originals on the Forum-- someone is always looking for a set.

No kidding, I bought a set off the forum after I discovered Mazda wanted $40 EACH for the caps. That is highway robbery. No pun intended....

Thumbs up

Thanks guys. I don't think I would be selling them anytime soon because of the risk that my Efini ones might get stolen or accidently detaching from the wheel, if it happens I can always put my original ones back on.

hmm, I only see talk of stock center caps being bought/sold on the forum, but no mention of where Efini center caps can be found.
