Found a Pretty Good Deal on Westin Sport Bars (HD style bars)

I have been looking into getting a set of Westin Sport Bars (they are the fluch fitting nerf bars like on the HD F150s) for a little while and they runing the $300+ range usually. Well I just these listed on Ebay for $208 shipped. I picked up a set and thought I would pass it on in case anybody else was interested...they have 2 sets left. They also have an auction for sets to fit RCs.

That is a great deal. Those don't really offer any kind of step, do they? They're mainly just for show.

I bought the stainless nerf bars with black steps delivered for $180. They look good on my truck.

Nice find!!! I was thinking of doing something like that. Who is it, Nap? That does the "painted to match" HD bars? They are quite pricey though...

Can't wait to see them on your truck!

Right they are not steps....they fit flush with the bottom of the cab just like the bars on the Harley F150s.

I bought the wife a set of black bars for her Expy for $140 delivered. For some reason the Sport Bars usually cost a lot more than the nerf bars....I guess because they are less market for them (since really they are useless....but look good.)

From everyones experiences? They have a feedback rating of 99.1% with 12863 positives to 105 negatives...IMO thats pretty damn good. I suspect Summit or Jegs would be happy with a customer satisfaction rate that high.

I think its probably a case of hearing the loudest cries from the (less than) 1% that were not happy with the service rather than the other 99% that were happy.

And as we all know some people have total drama with every single purchase they make. I take reports of bad service from people like that with a huge grain of salt.

At any rate I will let you know in a week or so how my transaction with them went.

Just an update....they promised delivery in 5-7 days. I got home tonight and they were waiting at the back door....2 days after buying them. They are in perfect shape and as described. IMO a seller can't do any better than that!

Two big for sportztrailers based on my experience with them!

I will put them on and get pics tomorrow!

I can get you several customers on F150online that have had poor experiences from Sportztrailers. I just received my coilovers from Fabtech, not from sportztrailers. Sportztrailers never got around to calling Fabtech, good luck.

Check this thread for Sportztrailers and their problems. Just hope they send you the right stuff the first time and it's in good condition. If not, you'll never get through to their customer service department and if you do, they will only tell you what you want to hear.

Great service...oh but take this with a grain of salt guys, we're all overly dramatic and just happen to be on the same site, what a coincidence.
