Mine are slightly dinged up, but heck if you want I can get you some photos and we can swap! :)
I appreciate the offer but with shipping back and forth it would be a hassle. Plus, I will run the blacks and see what combo I like the best....Might just P-Shop the silver in and see....lol.:p. ECST said I should have them by Thurs...\\:D/
 
How would I take off the factory side rails that I have and would these pop right in place?
The tracks are all the same from 04 to present, so once you take those factory side rails off you will have access to the tracks underneith to install the basket handles. Personally I got rid of those racks on my 04 and preferred to use my Yakima system since it is some more versatile then the factory racks. I removed the side rails from my 2010 to use the Yakima rack I used on my 04. I am not a fan of factory racks.

I dont have anything up on top so I think for the amazing price I had to pull the trigger. We will see how I like them. I really wanted silver but I can always paint them...;)
 
I always wondered how these racks would look painted reed green to match my truck. I have the silver ones on now and was afraid to paint them in caser I didn't like them. But this set for 100 bucks may be worth it to give a shot. Is anyone here good with photoshop? If so I could upload a pic of my truck and you could color them to match the body for me. If I like it ill order a set of these black ones and have them painted. Anyone willing to help me out on this? Please!

Of course they would look good paint matched to your car....;)
 
Following up on Tagstdi, Yeti any hints on how to remove the stock rails and install the new ones? Need something like this for my 12 foot long dip netting poles.

TIA
