ok with plastics after you rub the paint off you need to use a propper plastic primer so that the grey primer filler has something to adhere to,also you must remember to add a flex agent so that when the primer is dry,and rubbed flat it has flexabilty otherwise if you get a stone chip the paint will just start to flake off like all those old shitbox commydores you see everywere,with plastic bumpers with the paint just falling off
What Brand and what products are you using?

Axe you are correct ,the spikes fit straight into the original captive nut holes you only need to use a 10 or 12 mil open ender ,as they have 2 flat side on the spikes

had the day off to play Hayabusa,had a great time
i fitted my window clutch cover ,ive had it for 4 months ,1st thing i did was strip cover ,ad blue max in the window and oring to save on oil leaks,then bought a oil window the sealed it up as well this all took place weeks ago,then today got it out only to fid the cover fouls on the locating dowels so out with the die grinder,sorted now and on,i did also find the oil plug doesnt seal so i wrapped the thread with thread tap and did it up tight ,no leaks
then gave her a long over due clean and polish,

biggest prob is heat .
i wouldnt say its made it run cooler but it help my legs from being cooked from hot air,it also insulated the exhaust and made it a whole lot quieter ,so i can actually hear the injectors working and not the roar of the exhaust ,there are benefits ,like lowering the out let temp for fuel efc or some shit ,like that ,i did the same to my old 1100w ,
i found this.
Header wraps are designed to keep the heat in the header to improve scavenging of the cylinders. Keeping the heat in the header allows the exhaust speed to remain high. (the right idea)
Header wraps, by keeping the heat in the header, also reduces the radiant heat in the engine bay.
