I made my own for my 400ex and they look pretty good for home-made. What I did was buy a couple of pieces of postor boad from wal-mart. I just cut and folded the poster board and fashioned it into place where the scoops mounted and worked with it until I had a scoop made out of the board. I then laid it out flat on a 2' x2' sheet of stainless sheet steel that cost me $5 and used the cardboard scoop as a pattern, I cut it out of the metel, made my bends on the corner of the kitchen counter top, and put them on. the set cost me about 15$ tops and folks ask me where I got them.
