Problem with ordering sidestep from hondacuraworld

[lhs-tx]

Has anyone had a problem with hondacuraworld website? I clicked on "Submit" button to order pilot sidestep, and it errored out. Then I clicked the button again, and it said duplicated trxn. I am not sure if my order went though once or twice.

Call Tim, his HDD crashed a few days (or weeks) ago. Maybe it happened again.

Got email back from Tim, and he said my order can't be found in his transaction report. But my credit card shows a temporary authorization "RAY LAKS INTERNET ACCOUNT - ORCHARD PARK $351.83 " today. He will check back with me tomorrow and see if my order shows up overnight.

The same thing happened to me when I order a cargo organizer. So I placed the order again. I was charged twice and received two organizers. Wait to hear from Tim before you do anything.

lhs-tx: Are the sidesteps genuin equipment or after market?

I'm looking into getting either the side steps or the running board. What are the pro and cons of each, besides personal preference for looks.

I'm also wondering if there's any do-it-yourselfer out there has installed either the side steps or running board? and if special tools are needed?

I bought and installed some Manik side steps. They install similar to the Honda steps. The procedure was relatively easy and did not require special tools. I believe that Honda recommends a specific torque on the installation bolts. So if you follow that you made need a torque wrench.

You can preview the installation instructions here.

Have fun. It should take you between 1 to 2 hours.

As of this morning, your card has not been charged nor has an order come through. Our bank statements come in overnight and according to such, no charge was issued.

Called Tim this morning and placed an order on the phone.

The sidesteps and running boards sold by hondacuraworld are genuine Honda parts.

I think personal preference is the main difference. The running boards have plastic (?) ends and maybe trap more dirt, but the side steps are round and the footing might seem different. Look through the other threads in the group buy section for more info.

Here's the install instructions for the side steps and the running boards. The tool lists are in the instructions, but I think you can get by with the ratchet, sockets, and open end wrenches (I'll find out in a week when my side steps get here).

Members have reported installing both, with the most common comment referring the the simple physical labor of attaching the brackets and mounting the steps or boards (no drilling required).
