Angry Stupidity!!!!!

So here is my first costly screw Up on my brand new 2014 Limited. I had my EZpass attached inside of the fairing like the older bike. No problem, until I installed my amplifier. I always tell my guys at work never to force fit anything yet I did that my self. As I reinstalled the fairing, I had to force it a bit thinking that it was the cables in the way.
I finished that last night. Today I got home from work and decided to get the bike cleaned up for the long I going to have. I notice a spider web crack in the paint on the top of the fairing. So I took the fairing off and you guessed it.... It was the Ezpass pushing against the amplifier in to the fairing. Well, I don't really know what can I do at this point with my fairing. The web crack is about 2 inch round and no fairing did not crack... Does anyone has an idea, how to fix this thing with out spending $800.00.....

Think you could put an "ah ****" sticker over it so it will be hidden. Seriously, it's going to have to be sanded and painted. Easy enough.

Fairing Bra, at least until you are ready to paint.

Buy the leather fairing cover for 135.00 and no one will know the paint is bad.

Put some of those bullet hole decals over it. You will look like a genuine badass.

Thanks all, I don't think I am going to use a Fairing Bra. My bike is Amber/Whiskey color and black bra won't look good. I guess I am going to make it thru this nice riding weather and then have it painted...
