Default My take; f4i gauge plate

Well, I looked through as many pictures of different versions of the f4i gauge mount, or "plate" as i call it. but couldnt find anything that i really wanted to mimic. it seemed like there was consistently too much open area. In my opinion, clearly looking like it was home made. So heres my take on it. I basically tried to fill the area between the gauges and the windscreen. Its not too different from the originals, but i think the subtle difference will make it look MUCH cleaner installed than others do. let me know what you think..
