I saw the gekko in the Big Tent and instinctively knew where it belonged....
Good thing I have an understanding wife.
I mounted it with 1" spacers made out of 1" PVC with the ends covered
with felt. Good thing Monaco makes a nice thick end cap. You will know
our rig when you see us go by.

Sheet metal. The body shop guys make them and then paint them in their spare time.

Too cool, Luke! That's striking and it looks like it belongs there. However, I have to wonder if you followed your plan of cellar-ing the Grgich Hills for five years?
Seriously, it's neat!

Looks like it was made just for your rig. We have a rear window, might look for something myself.

Awesome! Have you considered adding red LEDs in the eyes connected to your brake or running lights? Just a thought for those annoying tailgaters

You do know that you have to buy Geico Insurance now, don't you?

Too Cool!!! We're headed to Q next week. How much was that thing?
Do you think the vendor will still be there a week from this Monday?

He was $100. Vendor is probably gone. The Big Tent is gone. Probably available in Phoenix and Algodones. Could be one of a kind. Talk to your DW before buying.

I want to tell others who may be looking at this on your "smartphones" to log onto a full computer the next chance you get! 
I looked at this earlier on my phone... and I can tell you that it does it an injustice to view via phone! 
Tell Kathy I think she is a sweetheart -because as you said in your last post.. check with your spouse...not all would agree with it! 
I will be looking for you on the road Luke!
PS..What was the vendor name Luke?

Vendors in the Big Tent don't have names. Just come back next year. I am sure SacsTC will want one of these.

The heck with eyes.... Since it's sitting off the coach he can backlight the entire thing!
