Coaxial rotating automated stepping surface

A molded panel that encompasses all forward surfaces of a vehicle. The molded panel extends from the forward edge from a driver side front wheel opening, laterally across the front of the vehicle and terminating at a forward edge of a passenger side wheel opening. The molded panel extends in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) from a forward lower edge of a front valance up to a leading edge of one of a hood, a flunk, and a windshield of the vehicle. The molded panel further includes connection flanges formed on a back side surface for connection to a vehicle frame that does not have a front end module and front frame bulk head.

A roof rail assembly () including at least one stanchion portion () having a cover () and at least one lighting device (). A light permeable film () provides a predetermined surface appearance and/or design and is translucent to allow light from the lighting device () to pass through under predetermined conditions. When the lighting device () is not illuminating, the light permeable film () provides a predetermined surface appearance. The film () is operatively translucent when the lighting source () is illuminated and additionally provides a predetermined design appearance when backlit. The selective lighting on the stanchions of the roof rails () provides illumination and a higher location of the indicator of unlock for easier location of a vehicle at greater distances.
