It's either this or the 4xGaurd Matrix setup.
Ah good point. I didn't read it like that because I think the first bumper is going to be the first production unit based.
I would definitely hold out to see what Jon comes up with.... we gave him some great ideas in the other thread; it may be a "must have" when its ready...
I agree I would wait for the bumper to come out.
It will be worth the wait, We will start putting together the first one this week and it should be ready by the end of the week if all goes well.
What might slow me down just a little is that we are going to be working on three different products at the same time to make best use of our mounting system and a few other ideas.
