Mixed emotions...opinions please

I put the N-Fabs on a couple of weeks ago and i'm not sure what I think. I bought them because I wanted/needed a step for the wife and I do see the benefits of them. Do you think they take away from the overall look of the truck or add to it. I like taking a minimalist approach to things. The truck looks horrible from the salt but it's 12 degrees out today.

Looks good. I'm considering those for my Scab. Curious about what you paid.

it does make the truck look lower to the ground, i dont really like any step on a truck but if i were to put one on the n-fabs would be it. It comes down to if you really need the step to get in to the truck or for the passenger to get in, if you need it keep it, if you dont sell them and buy something else!

As far as step bars go, those are pretty understated -- it's not like they're the big chrome nerf bars that are jumping out at you.

You have a great lookin truck IMO. I wouldnt change a thing. It's very tough and rugged looking.

I like them but should you decide you want factory ones like I have on my truck we could work out a deal. Check my pics if you are interested.

They're the best I've seen as far as steps go, but I like the "clean" look myself....

Can you get the bars without the steps? The almost look like Rocker Guards which are cool.

I like 'em. I think "minimalist" would have been a body color or black bumper with the black side bars...there is something of chrome/black that clashed, just a little bit, for me. I say Keep 'em...rugged and tough looking.
