i used the roof as a template . it worked pretty well but there is a little gap on either side of the chassis.

I've got a pattern for the rear cargo/batt. area but dont know how to post it and it turn out scale size. You can make your own pattern out of posterboard, I use cereal box's. It just takes a lot of measuring and trimming to get the fit just rite. Most aftermarket panels dont wrap around the down bars in the back and just come to the inner edge of the tubework plus why buy what you can make at home fairly easily. If you make one out of thin lexxan it will flex/bow enough to put your hand under it to remove/replace the battery without removeing the panel.

Here's the one I made out of flashing from my local hardware, cost about 90 cents a sheet.

However I moved my battery to the front, under the hood....Makes the Wraith handle so much better.
