I didn't want mine up quite that far as I'm trying to minimize the amount it protrudes past the inner panel and into the floor. I'll build a rounded cover that follows the angle of the filler tube and encloses it all. I've seen rectangular boxes used as covers, but I think a smoothie looks better.

Don't know about that but it's too late anyway. I've already windowed the bedside. I kept the straight edges to make it easier to match up with the body line. Although I could have radiused the corners a bit, I guess. Having straight gaps will also make it easier to fit the butt clamps wherever needed. You can see from the photos below that there's a small curve that needs to come out of the filler panel. Several well placed clamps should make it all play nice together.
