I just used the corner of my desk and a steel ruler as a make shift break to bend the lexan. Hopefully you can just copy the image, print it out, and trace onto a piece of lexan. If you cut the under flap piece off the body you can use that as a guide as well. Then velcro the body to the ext.

I really didn't think about making more to sell, but if anyone is intereted lmk. I can paint them black or leave them clear. $10 shipped. PM me if interested

I think i would just velco mine to the gaurds. unless it doesnt stick too well.

But yeah, newbies or people who crash a lot probably would need to screw them on....lol. Hell, a good crash will rip it right off anyway. But if you already drilled the holes doesnt really matter now though....lol.

If TLR doesn't have this out soon I'm sure it'll be available aftermarket in the near future.
