      It's called "scratch acrylic and it comes in various color combinations. The laser ablates the top layer revealing the undercolor. They also have a fake leather-like material that works the same. It's sold by GreatCarve in china

      @@mikecyanide7492 A billet head is always a great upgrade! As far as the spacers, the early LD100's had a bad mismatch with the cylinder which left the transfer ports barely open at bottom dead center. Adding a spacer was a quick easy way to get the proper port openings and get the most from the stock ports. The newer versions of the LD100 do not need the spacer anymore, so it's not really relevant today. Apparently the factory saw the spacer posts and decided to fix the issue themselves.
