Well I'm gonna polish the sh*t out of them tomorrow and see how well they match the stainless grill guard. I'm going up there to make the grill and a piece for the hood scoop. I may buy a sheet of diamondplate and make another anyway, since this one is saved in the machine.

But if I'm gonna spend almost $80 on a sheet of diamondplate, then I'm gonna figure out other mods to make with the 2/3 of the sheet I don't use for this piece...

Okay well aslong as it ties in some how right? It should polish up nice being a fresh piece of metal and will match the stainless pretty damn close.

Ok, final look. All polished. If you look at the stainless cross bar above it, it's pretty darn close to matching the stainless steel although it's aluminum...
