Why you wanting to change LCA's? for bling?

Factory steel beats aftermarket aluminum.

Seriously, buy some more factory ones from the junkyard and repaint them black or silver if you want some bling.

There are threads on here where people have done the same thing. They might have some better answers than cutting it off. Look around or try a search.

When steel fails it bends, when aluminum fails it cracks...

It is safer and not worth the weight or bling difference. IMO

i would have to agree w/ keeping your stock lca's... steel is a lot better than aluminum. if ur located in so cal i can get the omni lca's for 100 u just gotta pick them up thats all... that is if u wanna save 10 dollars.

Yup, you could try that. I've heard of someone doing it that way.

^ding ding ding. i agree with everyone here. aftermarket lcas are useless unless you want to save weight, which isnt even much anyways.
