Don't know about the bubbles, but if you're going to spend on the 10 bolt you might as well get some different ratio gears installed.

If the bubbles are under the Vinyl, the best thing you can do is take a needle and put a very small hole in each one and roll the air out.

This is a vinyl color to fill in from the baffle forward to the hood opening? A fill-in for the snake fangs?
