Default Recommend these running board sidesteps

I installed these on my wife's Q7 and saved myself about $1000 off the factory price. I think these look better than factory, anyway. All required hardware and brackets are included; only need a couple socket wrenches. Installation took about 2 hours on a Saturday with help from my 4-year old.

I bought mine here, http://www.autoanything.com, but they seem to be unavailable right now.

Looks kool, thought I was looking at my own car. Not many Bahia Beige out there. Mostly greys and blacks. I was just on the AutoAnything site and did not find the application for the q7 listed.

I like the running boards and was looking at getting the nerf bars as that seems to be the only Q7 part available.
The link you have is for a Tahoe and if it took 4h you must have had some modifications or specialized tools to install?

Thanks

The install only took me 2 hours. All that you really need is a socket wrench, a couple of sockets, and possibly a second adjustable wrench (or similar) to hold the nuts while you're tightening. In my case, I used an air socket wrench, but no other special tools required. The kit comes with all the brackets, nuts, and bolts that you'll need. Instructions could have been better, but I didn't have to refer to them much, anyway.

Seems that www.autoanything.com no longer lists that part on their website. I ordered them only about 2 months ago. Perhaps you can call their 800# and ask to be special ordered.

You could also try one of those online search engines. Just type in "Romik
12901418" and you should get some hits.

Romik also lists physical locations in many states, as well as online retailers: http://www.romik-usa.com/web-content...r_locator.html
