Frequently Asked Questions

What does 20 LPI checkering feel like versus a smooth housing? 20 LPI (lines per inch) checkering is a moderately aggressive, evenly spaced texture cut directly into the housing for a firmer grip than a smooth factory panel.

Is this the arched or flat style? This listing does not specify an arch, so confirm the housing profile with the arched/flat detail before ordering if grip angle matters to you.
