Backplate for GTX 1070

Virus__

So i'm looking for a back plate for my EVGA GTX 1070 Black Edition, purely for aesthetic reasons, as I don't like the look of the bare PCB, and I will be modding a window into the side of my case so there is that as well.

 

But as far as I can tell it's a Founders Edition board, so i'm after a back plate that will match up with that. I found that EK sell back plates separately, which has lead to me finding this particular one from them. I know they say it's not for standalone installation, but i've seen a few people installing them on reference/founders edition GPU's with the stock blower cooler, so it is possible I figured. But saying that I don't want to buy it & then find it's not possible to fit it in my situation without a water block. So any advice/help would be appreciated.

Yeah i've come across them in the past, I was personally thinking more a metal back plate since I can paint that any colour I wish. Not a big fan of acrylic since it scuffs too easy & attracts way too much dust where I live. Plus imo they're a bit on the expensive side for acrylic that is cut to a specific size, also with shipping it comes to $46 USD just for a blank one, which is $60 AUD. That is way too much.

 

Where as I can buy that EK one for $45 AUD shipped with international express.. Not a bad price at all for what it is. Just i'd need to ensure compatibility.
