Naughty words when installing something on a vehicle, you don't say..... And I thought it was just me, but you gotta admit it, those boards do look good don't they.

How hard is it to get the bolts underneath off before mounting the boards and is it possible to buy semi black running boards?

Everything should come apart easily Dutchman, especially since you're in the land of dry and rust free cars. You can get the boards in just a primer finish so painting them matte black or other colors is a doddle.

Thanks 843de:
I've heard there is a piece that has to come off the rocker panel before you put the running boards on that might need a specialty wrench. I'm looking for Matte Black since the car has a lot of black options including the bow ties.

Stock rockers are held in with two screws and a bunch of clips I knew I wouldnt reuse them so I just ripped them off came off very easily
