Don't forget the "Bottle Opener" cutout on each side of the skid plate/bike too... never know when a bottle needs to be opened after all

Or, rust distressed and clear coat? Not.
Just wondering out loud. Contrasting color. Arctic silver metallic Everything gets painted this color around here, got lots of the stuff (actually brighter metallic finish than pic shows)

I think it looks great unpainted. Polish it up a bit and clear coat it.

I used a 4.5 cutting disc and notched about 40% of the breaks,then I folded them by hand.
