The running board
Thanks. The gloss black grilles are a little deeper gloss than the factory sport trim due to aging. I have to find someway to bring the shine back on those. I am digging the running boards too. Makes cleaning the roof sooooo much easier. I guess they look okay too.

Paint the stock ones IMO
Thank you. Yeah, their shape is not great. I need to get some shots farther away as they don't scream "cheap" like they do in close ups. I might see if I can get the stock ones painted. I just love how these have a perfect gloss black finish and painting a grille (even professionally) never comes out perfect.
