Ill take some pics today.

Depending on the angle you look at them in the sun, they look either real blue or like regular carbon fiber

that is what I am looking for I want to have that perl effect and do the body in a color simular to the grey/black of the carbon and if the blue looks good then use a blue pearl in the clear coat so that the body of the car gets that same effect as the carbon when the sun hits it.

Looking forward to seeing the pics

you can see the difference in the pics.

it was even more evident in the sunlight IRL.

at times it almost looks all blue and other times it looks like
regular CF.

here's a shot of the whole Running Board for you

Question:

How do you bolt them onto the car and fenders?
I can not see the lip for it where the bolt should go thru.

there is no lip for the bolts to go thru.

instead there is 2" wide carbon fiber mounting tabs for the bolts to go thru everywhere there is a bolt to go thru the body.

Hello

Have you installed these on your car yet? Just from observation they look kinda flimsy? Im probably totally wrong, at least I hope so! I wanted to put carbon fiber running boards on my car but didn't know where to get them. Please tell me how they stand the test of time!!

Thanks

Clint

they look flimsy, but one on the car they are really sturdy.

I got them from Carbon Joe.
