Snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay and method for manufacturing same
An improved snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay and method for manufacturing the same, comprising a rigid polymer hook-shaped member extending from an upper end of a flange, wherein said flange is protruding from the rear inward area side of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention and protruding continuously along a right-rigid polymer longitudinal portion and a rigid-right polymer upper arm edge which form a geometric orientation that permits the flanges of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention when inserted into through holes bearing the corresponding shapes of said flanges to firmly attached to a rear surface area of a manufacturer's or aftermarket's wheel cover when snapped into place; and protruding continuously along a left-rigid polymer longitudinal portion and a left-rigid polymer upper arm edge which form a geometric orientation that permits flanges of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention when inserted into through holes bearing the corresponding shapes of said flanges to firmly attach to the rear surface of a manufacturer's or after market's wheel cover when snapped into place. In addition, a three dimensional (3D) scanned imaging of the individual embodiment component parts is generated, after rigorous testing, and is transferred to an injection molding computer to generate the injection molding designed precisely corresponding to each individual component parts of the present invention.
