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.

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
