    Those are cool, but I'm particularly proud of mine.

        That is the sickest idea ever, if I steal that from you, all copyrights go to you.

          That'd be me.



          T'was a serious pain in the ass, too. You can't buy the Lego Stormtroopers new anymore, I had to get them from a rare/hard to find Lego site, 4 of the full figures cost me $23 shipped. But I did just procure another set of 4 helmets, I'm going to make another set as a backup just in case some fuck swipes mine.

              did you thread them, or are they friction fit?

                The helmets are super-glued onto the regular black plastic threaded valve caps. They're a tight fit, but I glued them anyway.

                They happen to be the EXACT same diameter as Lego heads, so they fit perfectly and just thread on/off like regular valve stem caps.

                            Man I was going to post up my collection, I had so many star wars Legos back in the day. I went down in the basement to find out my mom had gotten rid of all my Legos. Sad day :(

                              Remember to consider the weight of your fancy valve caps. They usually stick out at an angle and the centrifugal force at highway speeds is significant. My sis had some bitchin' 8 balls on her '60's beetle that made pretty quick work of cracking the rubber valve stems and causing leaks. Josh's storm troopers look pretty light, tho..

                              You can get valve stems made for motorcycles that are really short to help + they look awesome. They are like 1/2 inch tall.
