i didn't want to spend $100 on ones from ford so i attempting to reverse engineer them. i am taking a picture that isn't quite normal to face and extrapolating dimensions off that based off a known dimension, but i did take a scan of that k member area to get the base profile. i did look at a pair on a car last year but i don't remember if 1" tall elements is correct. Currently with 3 walls and 15% infill, print time is <4 hours. the best layer direction would probably have it printed at an angle, but at least this way has layers with not split in the up and down direction when on the car. hoping to print these soon, just need to figure out hardware size.

Will i notice a difference? probably not. will they be effective? 🤷‍♂️.
