As far as I know they only come unpainted.

I tried getting these a while ago from gmpartsdirect. They were apparently on national backorder, but after about two months I finally got one side. They couldn't tell me when more would be available, but the one they sent me was damaged enough that I couldn't use it anyway, so I sent it back. This is something that might be worth the extra money to get from a dealer.

I MIGHT sell mine if I ever get around to trying the stock running boards I got on Ebay on and see how it looks before I decide if I want to keep them or not.

I bought some a while back. I got prices on gmpartsdirect and the dealer matched the prices, saved about 100 on each that way. I think they were in the neighborhood of 300 each, crazy thing was one of the sides was more expensive for what ever reason. They were umpainted and unprimed, just plastic. I had some hastle with the passenger side one though. It was warped and they kept sending me warped ones, sent em back like 4 times then finally just realized they're coming from the same warehouse and just kept the one with the least warpage. I just have to wait for the supporting arms that hold it up, i guess those are still on back order.

I'll double check the prices and parts numbers for sure. but they might have gone up a lil.

i always end up running my pant leg on my running boards getting in and out. Are there people who actually use them to get in an d out of the car? I have to swing my legs out and then go straight to the ground. Although i'm 6'2" so that makes it so i don't really use them.

My wife was driving and parked with my side in a huge bank of snow, so i used the board to walk down to the end, grabbed the rail on the top and dumped and swung around the back of the car. That's about the only time i have "used" them. Don't even need them waxing, i can reach the other side of the car pretty much over the top. Not only tall, i have long arms...

Thats what i paid through the dealer. They price matched Gmpartsdirect.com.
You need the brackets to hold em up too. You need 6 of em. These were just cheaper through the dealer.

and also 18 screws that go from the bracket to the boards.
