nice, but if you drop a screw on that, they only place you’ll find it is in your tire. I don’t know about the diamond plate… you can always just do that plastic strip stuff that sticks on and it cheap. ---

it’ll be nasty and oxidized 10 seconds after the first snowfall. it would be a great idea in a fair climate. i’d say get white vinyl sheeting used in refrigeration cut down to strips and industrial adhesive to attach it. it’d be 5% of the cost, and indestructible. ---

i know stainless is a bit more expensive…but i’d say go with stainless diamond plate and not worry about all the extra care needed to protect it from salt/moisture corrosion. I mean…it may only be a couple hundred bucks differenece. Atleast then it’s done. ---
