Ian went to their site. Not sure I found everything? Your order withy color selection for different tags does not make sense to me. Disclosure: 75 YO old guy. Have a great weekend.

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 it anymore. I never did receive any paint from them so 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.

I ordered my clear cover from rapid rev … had it in less than a week. I personally don’t like the color band around the amt version

FWIW

Hi JCWP, lol 71 year old here. I ordered these items early in the year and I just took my time going through their different colour options until I ended up with what I liked. I would suggest that if you aren't too sure, contact Harley at [email protected], she is very helpful. good luck and I hope you have a great weekend also.

That's great vacek that you received it so quickly and got exactly what you wanted. That's the wonderful thing about all these available mods made by these different companies. Everybody can get exactly what most appeals to them. As long as you are happy with the selection, then it is the right choice. Have a great weekend.

I tried to Google Rapid Rev - got place in Edmonton - motorcycles. I am getting Procharger stage II SC installed - so, like to get clear engine cover - like to check out different suppliers - thank for your help.

Same R decal pkg. Looks great on the car.

I ordered the hood R stripe with the car but then I replaced it with the hood and trunk stripes from Vette Stripes in Hawaii. They seem to be a much better quality stripe that the GM ones. Once again, personal preference and tastes. Its nice to have the options to make the cars to look whatever way you want.

Today I finally was able to install my new 91mm Soler Throttle body. It was a monster of job in my HTC and took 3 hours start to finish. Will post review once I install the throttle controller also.

I also was able to install my AMT custom Amplify/Carbon flash engine kit along with a RapidRev clear engine cover. Super happy with the result.

Also installed a couple custom caps under the frunk lid, also by AMT custom designs.

5 hours in the garage today, I’m bagged … but thought I’d share shine pics.
