I wonder how that would look on top of a painted inner fairing?

 

I have the exact same dash cover on my '07 FLHTCU as is pictured on Texas FATBOY's picture. Have had it since '07 on mine, no issues so far in nearly 30K miles. Works great, easy to install, looks good, many different styles offered, reasonably priced. OR.... you can take your dash off, which is a major event, time consuming, expensive if you pay to have it done, pay to have it painted, which is also expensive and if not done correctly, it wont stay on the plastic surface, then re-install it hopefully without chipping the new paint, and try to never scratch or chip it after the fact. To each his own. I got mine from a place called Exotic Wood Dashes. PACO
