Brushed Aluminum Running Boards..
I really like how they look. I want to know how they install, is it easy? Is it just a snap on snap off thing? Or is it a full replacement? I don't want to spend over $700 and have someone be able to take them off my car. Thanks.

I installed them on my X5... It was pretty easy. It took me about two hours. I had some buddies come over and help me, so it wasn't hard. There are plastic rivets that hold the plastic trim on, but the aluminum is bolted on. I would say go for a DIY... Just make sure you have a plastic rivet gun.... It's impossible to do it without one. I found that out the hard way right at the final stage of installation.

Installed 'em in 2 hours--the rivet gun and extra rivets are essential. Love the look. Some people complain that stepping out of the X is more difficult, especially with sport seats. It is possible to wipe your pants leg across the boards, and if they are wet and dirty, without making sure not to hit the boards, your pants can get mucked up. I have not had that problem, but I make sure to be careful when the X is wet.
