Agreed! It sometimes catches my eye by surprise. I sometimes forget that I even put it on because it was so inexpensive and took like a half hour to do. can't say a 4200 one would look any better, either.

PICS PLEASE!!! I wanna do this too, but want to compare it to the OTHER covers out there. I like the Dynatec (is that right?) because of the extra fluid cap. and strength.

I have the 08 cover too. Great mod for little money.
Mohead, they dont come with the bolts and the old ones arent long enough. You will need to get 5/16-18x 1 1/4.

I just got the stock longer bolts from the parts dept when I got the cover. I think they were $12, but it saved me a trip the hardware store.
