Damn!! Great new mods man. That's unfortunate with what happened to the paint on the engine cover. Some clears do that if it reacts bad with the paint underneath. Which paint brand did you use for the color and clear?

Yeah i was pretty disapointed that i had that happen to my engine cover. Now i just need to wait for another nice day that doesnt include snow, rain, or 20 degree temps to repaint it lol. I used Rustoleum gloss protective enamel spray paint. It was perfect perfect and glossy prior to the clear. Im not sure im going to clear it next time.. otherwise ill just go without the engine cover lol

When I had my old engine cover I didn't clear mine either because I used multiple clears without success, but it didn't bubble or crack the paint underneath. Instead, it reacted with the paint and yellowed like all hell.

Chris i have to ask what the temperature was in the room when you painted that cover? That looks a lot like a cold reaction to the material then a paint reaction!

He chose them for warranty reasons and they will still put down some nice numbers even though they aren't longtubes. Got my adapter in today too Chris. Can't wait to see it installed.

Update: Had some left over carbon fiber vinyl laying around so I wrapped the gold inside the bowtie. The front is now offically all blacked out and looks awesome!
Had to take this one from inside the house sine I couldnt back up enough. (The grid looking stuff is the screen door)
