First off, a big thanks to thatguyx from FZ6-Forum.com or putting me onto TechSpec with this post. After seeing his pics and post, I deceided to order up some of this stuff.

I also purchased the 'Snake Skin' material. It arrived yesterday in the mail. I was surprized at how heavy this stuff is! I order a "generic sheet" and it comes with the following:

x2 7.0 x 13.0 inch sheets
x1 pre cut tank protector
x2 TechSpec stickers
- instructions
- gerneric templates (No FZ6 one)

At the time of this mod, there was no supplied FZ6 template so I set off to make my own. It's a pretty simple porcess of just using some paper, a pencil and some scissors. Start large and whittle your way down untill you get a shape you like/want.

Then simply trace out onto the back of the TechSpec sheets and cut out with sharp scissors.

I warmed up my tank witha heat gun on low, then applied the TechSpec pieces and let set overnight. The little bottom piece is more 'show' than 'go' and something I just made using some of the extra material. I think it's looks good.

If anyone wants the template I used to make these, you can download it here: Boneman's FZ6 TechSpec Template
