Do it yourself. Schick Hydro 5 and some Edge Gel should do the trick.

OK, sorry.... I don't get what you mean about them being shaved..... And what's the purpose of same?

Personally wouldn't want covers that kill ventilation to battery/brake-clutch hydraulic compartments.

There is no ventilation in stock form, if anything they keep hot air away from the battery and master cylinders

It's definitely a good idea. I like the cleaner look as, especially if it improves the look of our engine bays!
