Nice!!!

2 things to consider:

1. Its better to have a support or 2 in the middle unless you're using a thicker gauge mesh to hold the bumper up. AP2 bumper is "flimsier" than AP1 bumper it seems.
2. The pointy corners will have to be cut perfectly because it will be very difficult to even it out if cut unevenly from right to left cut. A file will not go in that corner to fix the "uneveness".

If I had to choose from the above, I'd go with the 3rd one.

I appreciate the advise. I think I'll be going with number 5. I had a feeling the pointy ends may be a problem, so I'm still considering possible making them more curved. That i'll decide once the process begins.

Well I guess I know what I'm doing next time I'm home and have a dremel!

Thanks!
