We receive several calls each week concerning the durability and maintenance of Undercover Innovations products.
   All the panels made by them, such as Showpanels,Belly Pans,,Firewall Panels,,Cowl Grill Panels, and Radiator Top Plates are all manufactured on CNC equipment from architectural grade aluminum.
    Proper care for these products depends on the finish you choose. The Clear Anodized, Black Anodized and polished parts can be cleaned with glass cleaner and a microfiber towel.
The Gloss Black Enameled parts can also be cleaned with glass cleaner but occasionally it will require a good coat of wax to keep it shining at its best.
    For the most part, the panels are pretty simple to install. Requiring a few stock bolts to be removed and possibly relocation of the prop rod.
When installing one of their Firewall Covers, it is recommended to remove the hood and as many obstacles as possible to prevent damage to the panel during the process.
A good bead of clear sealer about 1" in from the edge of the panel will help to hold it securely to the stock firewall.
This also makes for a better looking install, without rivets or screws.
    The Cowl Induction Hood Insertsare designed to fit the factory opening and have the holes pre-punched to accept the included hardware.
We recommend running a tap through the stock holes to clean the threads.
    The Console shift Plates are a replacement for the factory plate on your console.
These are made from anodized aluminum and are engraved using a CNC router.
Installation is simple, just peel the backing off the double sided tape and press in place.
    If you want to be a little different and stand out from the rest of the pack, order one of our Custom Engraved Showpanels.
We can engrave almost anything you want on your showpanel.
You can mix in our already available logos with your own custom touch, or maybe a nickname.
Its up to you. Each panel is custom made and requires that you fill out and submit the quote request form.
Once we receive it, our designer we create a virtual image and cost for your approval.
After you agree on the design and payment has been completed, we will make your panel and ship it out asap.
