I would make it out of something sturdier than cardboard. Just my 2 cents.



I'm kidding. Looks like it might be nice.

Just so other FD owners know, i'm working with orange7 to get this piece in to production.

Little changes were made to make it better and it will look sick in carbon fiber. Should have this piece done by the end of the week.

Will this be a generic piece that will fit with any FMIC setup or is it something that we would need to send you a carboard cut out for you to mimic?

This was made off of the greddy fmic and i'm not sure but you could probably modify it a little to fit other setups. Cutting out cardboad and sending it to get copied is possible to.
