Can you please take a few closer pics from different angles?

PowerDubs, for that appending posts thing--its a time thing. If you post again within a certain time it appends. Wait long enough and it won't.

I do not know how much time you have to wait though.

I could do some experimenting, but it would drive Cormanus nuts what with all the test posts and he'd most likely ban me

Don't worry- he will ban people for posting tq specs or wiring diagrams before that...

Powerdubs You might consider going to a window tint / vinyl wrap car shop. I had my side covers done in black carbon fiber wrap. mine came out good to meet my satisfaction. I have a 13 model with silver side covers ,Red bike . Just wanted something different. Would post pics but still don't know how. The cost for both sides was $45.00 and can be removed if I get a change of mind.

My concern with a vinyl wrap is that they wouldn't be able to wrap the vent slots and have it all appear ok..
