Love the style of those. Pretty close match. How much trimming did you need to do?

Not much. When I get home I’ll take pictures of the part I had to cut. I just used a dremal. I fitted it on and trim the part that is hitting in the door jam. It sits lower then r53 side skirt. Or maybe I installed it wrong.
