Funny thing is that I designed a wind faring 3 years ago and posted it on a site dealing with LRs. One guy saw it and wanted to know where I got it so I sent him a tracing of the metal shape and then he posts one he bought from FR on his LR. Although I did not patent my faring, I find it odd that FR sells the exact shape and design now on their site. I am not saying that it was copied as I was willing to give the design away but I do find it odd that the shape is identical, just attached to the rack in a slightly different way.
