First thing I recognized at the Zero 2012 the angle of view of the dash will not allow to read the Charge Indicator.
I can't see the upper bar and the dash position above the light with a connector pointing out over the headlight shield is ugly.
I guess the designer forgot that the dash has this bulky connector and when the holder was finished it was to late

It is too shiny but believe painting aluminum is a pain even if the paint is for aluminum use. ( but I always suck with painting )

If somebody hear trying to do a similar mod, always look for enough clearance between dash and key!

Sorry the pics are not good, but it rains today and I had not enough distance to get sharp pictures.
