Well I added some cool stuff. I added a 16 foot LED waterproof light strip. It came out realy cool. if you look at where the black meets the grey at the top of the boat you will see the lights. i will take some pics at night so you can see it better and how bright they are. I got the lights on...

@(T Man) I trimed a 1/4 inch gap all the way around the door then fit tested it with out the carpet on the door after the deck was carpeted. i hindged the door from the front instead of the side for two reasons. 1st just incase i drove off the out closing the latch the door would stay closed...
