I used the Commander Camera with my MyGIG. Picture quality is pretty crappy but it will keep me from backing into a tree on the trail.

Just a flat piece of steel. Not sure exactly what guage. I think it was 1/16". You need a piece 3" wide by 15" long. The side pieces are 6" tall. So that leave the top piece @ 3".

I just simply marked out my 3" center piece. Then put the metal in a vice and hammered down the bends.

I took off the bumper cover and drilled through. Then ran all wiring.
