The first prototypes just came in...
I didn't care for the Diamond Plate pattern when it was done so I scrapped it.
I think I'm going to redo it with a brushed aluminum pattern with blue lighting.
Same as below but brushed aluminum. It'll stand out on or off. Lots of contrast.
Lighted Blue - Carbon Fiber pattern
This one looks great lit but when it's off it's all dark.
Side thoughts...Who's gonna see it when it's off??? (the door is closed)
With this version only the illumination shows. (sill is dark & truck is black)
