So after all of this time, how has the wrap held up? I'm thinking about a wrap for mine as well.....

Thanks guys, I hope to start on mine sometime soon - don't be offended that I'm blatantly copying you, though! Take it as a compliment!

Nice!

Don't the LEDs get damaged by the extreme heat from the engine though?

Don't know to be honest....But i designed it to be a quick disconnect so i don't have to leave it on besides i kind of like the way the engine looks with it off so for shows and things of that nature i will put it on...

Painted my engine cover and fuse cover today. Same steps as posted here on the site. However, on the Fuse Box cover, after paint I used a paint touch up pen to outline the lock/battery symbol's then clear coated everything.

I might two-tone the sides of my engine cover, still havn't made up my mind, but for now I'm happy with it.

Just finished mine. I couldn't make up my mind on a good color to go with my CGM, so I went monochrome. I love how it turned out. Will look better with maybe a Team LLT badge on the front like some others have done.
