Nerf bar difference ???

Hello,
I am currently pricing out nerf bars for the mega cab and saw these...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Stain...mZ230085987677

How can someone tell if they are junk or not? It says they are T304 stainless and .065 thick / 16 gauge. They sound good and the price is nice.
Does anyone know if this matches up to the OEM product in regards to quality, etc ?

Help! Thanks... I need nerf bars soon, my wife is too short and needs assistance

I ditto the N-Fabs also. I'll eventually sell my stockers and probably go with the N-Fabs.

If there isn't a brand name advertised on the auction then I'd steer clear of it.

I bought some of those stainless steel 3 years ago when My truck was new. The still look great and I saved some coin for other projects. Not bad units for the $

Were they "no-namers" like the ones advertised? Any pitting, etc?

Thanks!!!

Yeah the n-fabs are great looking. You can get them chromed for a extra fee. I just ordered a set of black ones or mine yesterday.

Looks like everyone who has purchased nerf bars from that seller has been happy with them. The price certainly is right.

I purchased my bars from Ebay and have no regrets what so ever. They have been on my truck now for over a year and they still look as if they just came out of the box. I saved at least $150.00 by purchasing them off of Ebay. I'd say go for it.

Here is a pic of them on my 03....

I am leaning towards the stainless look to match the wheels/bumpers. I am tinting the front windows next week.

I went with NASTA's because not only are the bars stainless, but ALL the hardware is, too. Since my blue truck now looks white from road salt, that was a big selling point for me.
