Default step bars

So i had a set of factory nerf bars on my truck but they were starting to show a lot of age and looking really bad so i started looking at other steps to get. While looking i came across some of the nfab bars and i liked them a lot but couldnt make myself pay that much for them, so i decided to build some. Here are some pics, id like to know what y'all think. I will take pics of them when i finish also and upload them, i am stuck right now on what to do with closing the ends up.

Get them painted up and that will look really awesome. Very nice work.

Thanks man! Ive been working on these for like a month now because I only have 1 or 2 days to work on them every 2 weeks because of going back and forth to college. As for painting them, as soon as I plug the ends I am going to have them powdercoated.

Well I have buddy who might be able to get it done for me for free but I think he can only get em done in black, So if i go that route it will be black but if i have to take it some where else and pay i might try to do PTM, what is your opinion, im a little stuck on that to haha

Red would look good but since your guard is black I would go that route. Black and red look good together
