I'm hoarding two dishes. Once I figure out how to roll the flanged edge appropriately halving one would suit the XFi. If you're rolling by on I-5 we might agree on a neutral location.

They may be small, at most a half-skirt, but they're rigid.

I have some fiberglass skirts for the Superbeetle, but they're Foxcraft reproductions and I think they're too flat. I was going to use a Dish antenna for a mold and make curved caps to re-contour them.

The plan so far is to start with a curved tube with flattened ends that fit into fixtures at the front and back. Drop in at an angle and turn upright to lock it in, then a single locking tab at the top. Probably from a Type II gas door with the churchkey.
