I'd cover the trailing edges of the wheel arches and the side skirts completely.

You have red center locks so your are already changed out from the stock ones.

The replacement center locks don't have the torque numbers stenciled on them.

Yes, new CLs do not have a torque number. EDIT: ^^ Just saw that you beat me to it.

Great pictures BTW.
