This is a custom door we've got to build for a guy. He wants an old school looking plank door. And then he wants like a 12 inch radius top light. So it kind of looks like what he's got there. So Bruce and I were just discussing that they don't make a light kit like this. But we're going to have to have something custom made for it. Which isn't a problem because we've got vendors that will work with us on doing this.

This is all fiberglass, but this is textured fiberglass. And then what we'll do with this thing is we're going to paint it a custom color.
