I dig that shroud. Pretty simplistic, but overall functional. 
I have been trying to fabricate a very *snug* shroud, and in doing research, I noticed that many people have placed rubber gasket material on the top edges. The material is very similar to the gasket material used just in front of the windshield (for the engine bay). You may want to try adding some of that stuff.
I love that badge. Most I have seen are in gold trim. Where did you get it, may I ask?
Nice ride man.

I picked up my SC3 just prior to the last NorCal get-together, so I didn't yet feel comfortable bringing it.
Is there a defined place to chat about this stuff?
