F, since I'm a minimalist when it comes to adding weight. They all have style.

G or F will probably work best for you for adjusting. The rear corner edge of the other designs may hit your wing if you're running something with low profile mounts and wanting 0° aoa as your lowest possible setting. I did lots of trimming to achieve that on the DF mounts... Ha!
The crosses look cool, but probably not doing much for structure. I built something similar for suspension once and buckled the centers. The redesign ditched the bracing in the center, leaving the larger open holes. Maybe something to consider, and I think would look even better! No harm in mocking it up to see what you think.
The thin support of the 8 may also be something to consider structurally with G. Could change font to support the center more.

Here are some with out the X braces.
I just order a MDF version of "A". Going to mock it up before I make my final decision.

Drawn Sunday, ordered Monday delivered Thursday. Now to get them mocked up and see what needs to be tweaked.
I didn’t realize that the numbers are mirrored on the other side. It’s cheaper to order two pieces of the same cut then two different cuts, so I think I’m going to find a different font 2 that looks more like a Z so it looks the same front and back like the 8 and 0

I snuck a hour in to mock up the wing.
Its sitting about an inch above the rake line of the roof which will give it lots of clean air.
It does look comically high though. I posted these photos on FB and everyone says to keep it.
It does need some small tweaks, but I think I can get away with out another sample.

Did you get the final version of this cut and installed? I'm really interested in doing something similar. Would you care to share your CAD file? Would like to see final product too if you have a picture.
Did you go 60" on the wing? do you think that is to much?
