actually isn't it quite the opposite. People have complained that the OEM running boards stick out too much while these replicas are merely a cover over the sideskirts...

I think you're right. If these stick out any farther than the OEMs, I'd be scared!

Cool
OEM $625 vs. $350 non-OEM quite a difference, but I still would go with OEM. Who am I to talk, I don't have running boards... yet!
