I got a set from Bedriser; way more affordable than real ones, but not the correct curve. The finish is great, but I think the mold was done with the original pads lying flat. I filed holes in my bumper so it fit better, but still not correct.
My originals had rusted completly apart on the inside and finally let go. So these were a decent replacement, but I'd still buy a new $200 set today, if someone made a better fitting pair. |

I paid $275 (it was a bid on Ebay) for the front & back (plus shipping). I never used the back as mine is still good. |
