Default Wicked Derby cover

I just scored a Derby cover from Ebay for when I get my bike back from paint, interestingly it is painted by the same guys who are doing my paint.

What do you think?

I'm liking where you are going. Very "old school" looking. I don't want you to feel bad, however, might I add that the "label" does not seem centered. Perhaps it is just the lighting or the angle of the photo.

Thanks guys its goin on a chrome primary, and its the first time I'll be taking something chrome off my bike and putting something black in its place.
As regard the possibility of it being pissed, I'm not sure as I wont have it till tuesday, but I doubt it as I have seen the quality of their work and I cant believe they would have made that mistake. Looks real old school.
