Paul, thank you. While you were doing that I made another template. Pics attached. I had a feeling you were going to make some suggestions on the side burn/ear area so I went ahead and got started on a new template. Can you tell me if these are better and any minor tweaks that might be made before I send it off tomorrow?

Are you saying that I should not have any of my own hair at all around my ears?

Also, re: the back: you'll see a pic that shows my finger for scale. It's probably around 2 inches at most. Even still, it's still a lot of my own hair. I would love to cut that down more but I'm worried about having problems with the base being on skin that is prone to wrinkling. On these pics the template is just under occipital bone. The attachment spot seems perfect, no wrinkling when I move my head around, but I would still like to go lower if I can. I hate my hair and the less of it the better, but I just don't know if the trade off is worth it.

As always, thanks for all your help on these forums. You rock.
