didn't mean to **** in your cheerios man.

for the same investment, you could have rattle canned that strip wrinkle to match the box or gloss to match the bike's paint.

i've always thought without the band, it just looks unfinished.

The fastener pattern looks like its meant to hold a placard or data plate. Maybe a custom engraved placard would look cool there.
