Thanks, I have not seen a 2003 Model and did not realize that they have changed the style. That sounds like a better design. The reason why I was stating that the hubcaps would not stay on is due to my experience with similar hubcaps (albeit not these particular Crown Vic hubcaps) and the difficulty in keeping the plastic tabes in place. The plastic tabs (over time) weaken/fatigue and break off. This often happens when a garage removes them (and we all know that most mechanics that work on police cars do not take off/put on the hubcaps gently). I have never had any trouble with any of the older 15" Crown hubcaps staying on but have had bad experiences with the 2002 Crown Vid design in general on other vehicles. If you have a set of these caps on your car be sure to keep a close eye on the tabs. I use epoxy cement to fix any broken tabs to ensure that the hubcaps stay on. For example - almost every 1990 - 1994 Lumina with standard hubcaps is either missing one or more or has an aftermarket set.

I look forward to seeing the 2003 rims & caps!
