Running boards from eBay

Please share if running boards from eBay oem are any good. I can see a lot of them which look like factory but only 460$. Are they good? Is aluminum good as stainless steal oem in looks?

I am looking for purchasing it for quite a time and would like to buy factory if possible at reasonably cost

Check classified section often. I would rather get used ones but original than new replicas from eBay... Try carpart.com you might find some used ones there and not too far from you.

Thanks. I have been checking and would be more focussed.

However really interested in knowning somebody who might have used one from ebay and want to hear the review. I Believe they are half the cost.

eBay after market ones are like 500 bucks I'm sure you can get used OEM for same or less. Thers a set of OEM brand new on ebay for 900 or best offer why don't you try giving him an offer. You will also be able to sell the parts that come off in order to put the running boards on for around 200 bucks and you get your self original with no worries that some aftermarket ones won't fit properly. Here is the item#261027643394 hope it helps.
