I like it, but don't think it would look good on my red rock crystal pearl.

That looks really really good. Did you have them prime the back of the hinges?

The hinges are powder coated everywhere except the pin.

I'm having a hard time understanding how powder coating the exterior of the hinges in going to prevent this type of corrosion. Personally, I'd take the torx bolt out, slide the door up a bit and squirt a little oil in there every once in a while. Looks cool though.

Galvinized or not when I did this 3 of my hinges looked like this!
My dealer was willing to repaint the hinges but big deal, Then what I would get another 10 months?

Trailer. I did it this summer to pull the camper but have left it because I like the appearance. It looks beefier.
