The metal tube type are commonly called Nerf Bars.

The fiberglass/plastic type are running boards.

I am looking for a good set of running boards myself....there is a pic in the thread link here

I want it to almost make the car look lower...if that makes sense, probably the nerf bars then since the running boards dont like very big.

I personally think the running boards give the appearance of a "lower" ride than the nerf bars.

I got the same ones but chose the "smoked" option vs total clear. They look good, fit well, and are quality made. from Ebay - same brand that Zombie has.

Very simple to do....IIRC, when you open the the lift gate, the inner lights have two nuts that you can see along the edge.....and the outer lights can also be removed by 2 screws each, also when the lift gate is open.

haah didnt know there were quite a few choices..i like the one with the 3 lines running across..looks kinda modern..Also i noticed that from pics that there is a so called rear fog lights like its very common in Europe and also here but in german cars. Does that function as well or probably require additional connection
