Hey Lev'ika right now I have a standard backplate... however... the first major upgrade I'm going to make to mine will be a segmented backplate that will look sort of like something I found online... give me a few minutes and I'll post it up in my AFSOC thread, since I'm going to post up some progress pictures.

But on cheek got pulled out and pushed in a little bit during the first bondo. Coming back to haunt me now. Im thinking i just need to apply more bondo to make it level right?

That POC motorcycle armor is I believe made by a Swedish company. www.pocski.com
The Ski version of this armor (See above) is MSRP $180.00, but is is vented so it breaths, but WOW $180.00
