I'm guessing a sweeping bend will stick out further? Just to add to the fun, there's a path running along both the side with the ETP and around the corner. If it wasn't in such an busy area I wouldn't mind but I'm really trying to keep it tidy and discrete.
@phantomdb The soffit is in segments, but appears to be nailed into place. Even if I pop the nails out, it appears to be interlocked with everything around it.
