Default Thinking I like the brushed look better...............

Since the TT has mostly brushed aluminum pieces, I thought I would give my covers a brushed look.
Original on left, brushed right side

Still don't like that there are too many dimples, may have to go with OSIR's set, not too keen on carbon fiber, but they could be sprayed black.

May do the charge pipe this way also.
