Lowa Struktura Mods

Given that I just purchased some Dynafits and F1's it was time to make my strukturas a little more burly. Material cost was < $20 and wasn't labor intensive at all. The hardest part was drilling holes for the front plate and then screwing the plate onto the boot.
Added rear spoiler from an old pair of Salomon Evolution2 boots. This has made a huge difference in how the boots ski, its almost impossible to get backseat now and the amount of play fore and aft wise has been drasticly reduced. However this mod doesn't seem to hamper the walk function in a noticible way.
Front spoiler/plate extends above the orange shell and is secured in by two screws which can be seen to the left of the top buckle. This was the hardest part of the modification, as it was difficult to mark and drill because the plate was designed for a alpine boot style tounge and not an AT boot. Before there was 1-2 inches of slop before my shin actually got the boot to flex, that has been replaced, now when I flex the boot I immediately get resistance. It doesn't make the boot any stiffer, but it has become much more responsive to my input.

Full frontal view, as you can see the plate now extends above the booster strap making the cuff a few inches higher.
