Running boards are easy to install. You'll just need the front and rear fenders as well, as the cut off where they meet is different. Running boards have it an at angle.

I regret retrofitting these running boards. There's absolutely no way not to avoid them catching your pants and leaving dirt. I wish I didn't install them.
That’s good feedback….ive been on the fence about finding a set on eBay and installing them. I don’t necessarily like the look of running boards (on any vehicle), but they would make getting in and out easier with the lift and tires I’ve got, especially for my wife.

I was considering painting them mat black, or even powder coating them black, but can the aluminum part detach from the plastic or is it bonded/glued in somehow?
