Didja remove the running boards?
Indeed I did. My PPV had them on when I bought it, and they were super faded from the sun as one would expect. I actually documented an experience in this thread, where I used a bedliner to coat them. It looked great for a short while, then they just weren't fitting what my look was. I am happy I took them off, gives it a much cleaner look IMO.

They're faded on both of mine.I thought about removing them from thecopcar a while ago, but it wouldn't have gained anything since the bottom of the step is even with the bottom of the frame.

I may change them to a new step on thethirdtwin, but haven't decided yet. That's pretty low on the priority list.

After I swapped rear tailgates, due to the holes drilled by NCSHP, the applique was hanging on barely by just 2 studs. Doesn't really hurt anything, but it has always bothered me.

I grabbed a brand new one off eBay, it actually has the camera mount and no button for the glass hatch. I do not have a camera, and I do have the button for the glass. Never use it though, and maybe now I'll grab a camera for the rear.

Slapped it on, and grabbed some of these LED lights for the hell of it. I'll report back on how they do at night if anyone is curious.

Up here to the right
I had these LED's forever, one side started to flicker. So that's why I changed to the style in the previous post.

I have same and they do the same… and 1 reverse light falls out of the socket…. I think I got the whole kit of Amazon… all interior and those for the exterior.

Let me know how the tag lights work out.

Damn, that's clean. Makes me wanna get a new applique to lose the bow tie.

I'd like to see how those LEDs do. Have a link for them?
