What color is that FRC silver color? Only thing I would change is your
battery tender. Get one that desulphates your battery, it will make it last longer...like a Battery Minder Plus

I love the FRC and caps. I have not pulled the trigger on LMB covers because I thought it was a bit much in the engine bay.
