If you scroll up through the thread, I posted a link to the eBay seller. Don't think they have any current auctions right now for the replica boards. You may want to send the seller an email.

Those babies are sweet. Would have wanted them without the X5 on there though.

I just checked the link and it appears as though the one in the picture does not have the X5 label on it. Was that the same picture you saw when you purchased yours?

Can you take another picture a little further back to see the whole side of your truck?

When the rep boards were ordered, I didn't see any X5 etching on the pics in the eBay auction. However, that's how they came. At first I wasn't happy but later said "What the heck?" and obviously I kept them. I've received quite a number of emails and PMs from people asking where I got them indicating they like the X5 on there. So I guess the opinions are mixed.

Looks great and soooo much cheaper than OEM. I hope that the seller will have more soon - group buy?

i LOVE it!

i've had my replica RB's in the garage for ...oh, i'd say 4 months. after seeing yours i'm definitely going to put them on. i was even considering taking a loss and going with OEM ones. NOT NOW!!
i'm just concerned how they will stay on. with mine you dont screw anything in...mine came with some sort of adhesive and i dont really trust that. i dont want a RB to go flying off on the expressway, yk?

Thanks. Mine are held on by bolts on the side and rivets on top. Did not use adhesive tape.

I'd be up for a group buy - if someone can contact the seller, perhaps we can get a group buy organized!

The replica boards come pre-drilled with holes on the side and top but did not include hardware. This meant a trip to the local auto parts. For the side, I used stainless steel self-tapping bolts. For the top, I used plastic push rivets (see pic below) which actually match exactly the rubber grips on the rest of the board. I made the top holes in the factory plastic using a tinsel. Installation is quick and easy. Let me know if you have any questions.
