Thanks.... I don't think you can really get away from the glue spot on the bottom, but you don't see it much at any rate.

I could have done the underside in flat black, I think that may have helped.

I would not say it required that much skill, just time.  The wet sanding took the most time, and if I started with a more agressive grit, it would have gone faster, but I wanted to play it safe.

I have an extra non-targa engine cover that I was saving (not sure why) that is in pretty good shape, if you screw up yours (unlikely) I might be interested in getting rid of my extra one....

The one down side that I can see is that the satin black shows finger prints and since it is satin you cannot polish or wax it.  But I did satin so it would not reflect anything on the back windscreen.  Althought I think that Chris's (Will Cantrell's) covers are very nice, they are a little pricy for something I already have and/or can do myself.  Add to that, I can't stand reflections in the rear window that hinder my ability to see the already shrinking lights the CHP now carry

Hope this helps.
