I went down the same path with red mist.
I didn't find the shipping and insurance charges too heavy, $158.85 US and the custom clearance charge from UPS was $38 Cnd. The issue I had with AMT was that they shipped out the engine covers and the caps in a timely manner but the clear cover was backordered. After much back and forth with them it finally arrived, months later, When it did arrive the red mist stripe was chipped. I notified AMT of the damage and simply asked them to send me some touch up paint and I would repair it myself and live with the results. I didn't think it was worth it to send the cover back and wait for a replacement, which may never come, because the last time I checked AMT's site they don't even advertise the clear cover on anymore. I never did receive any paint from them but I bought the red mist touch up paint from the dealer and it was an excellent match, if the touch up paint would have been in a spray can you would never see the repair, because it was with a brush, it is slightly noticeable, but really so minor it is not an issue.
I also bought the coolant tank cover in the same colour. This cover is attached with 2 sided tape. I think the overall look for the entire engine bay is quite nice.
In all fairness to AMT, they seem to be a decent company with quality products but they could not properly cope with the demand for their clear covers and the supply they were able to obtain. I believe they buy the covers and apply the coloured stripe on the covers themselves.
I would not hesitate in dealing with AMT again, because in my opinion, anyone can have issues or problems, it is what you do to rectify them that is important to me.
Unless their supply issues have been resolved with their supplier, anyone interested in dressing up their HTC engine bay may want to consider AMT for the engine covers and RapidRev for the clear covers. I don't believe you get the painted edge from RapidRev, though, I may be mistaken. Which once you pass 70 seems to happen more often.
Unrelated, like many I park away from other cars when I can. Here is a photo of a mini trend at the golf course when I did just that last week.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

So making changes to the look is not a priority. I will wait for this clear cover and engine cover to be available in Canada and built in North America. I do not trust China made parts. So Jack , unless I find it in Canada and made in N.A. I will not mention it again.
