Nice, there was a US company doing the same but haven't heard much more on it. Maybe US DOT restriction made it harder to put into production.

There was actually a couple of them in the past Vince. One at SEMA two years ago, really nice but limited sizes and backspace. $12k for the set IIRC. Styling was 'meh'.

Looks like Ford went above and beyond on their engineering.
