Jed - I guess you got anodized aluminum?
Todd - Line-x is cool ... not my idea, but it's a good way to *use* your running boards and not mess 'em up.
4ontheFloor - LOL ... it's a whole lot easier to just NIX that garbage altogether!
I'm gonna be a whole lot happier with the stainless diamond plate anyway because I'm designing them myself, they'll match my rear bumper and the windless retainers/door jamb sills I'm designing, too -- wait'll you see my design!
