Default New pilot owner finally!

Hello Piloteers! =D i finally owned one! =D i bought a 2010 LX Model before the year 2012 ended. =D my mom owned a 2007 Ex-L model purchased on 2006, from then i know i have to get one when im going to have a family. =D 6 years later sure enough.=D im so impress specially the independent suspension and overall feel. 13 days from purchase, i have put leatherette car seats, 2nd row one piece rubber floor mats, returned window visors(didn't like the quality i got) and nerf side bars.( although its not fully installed yet since they sent me a dud passenger bar) im so happy to own one, and to find this site. =D

Nice looker there! Now you really got me thinking, I originally had two side bars/step bars in mind and now after looking at yours I have a third to consider! There's the Honda lit black ones, the chrome tubular and the ones you have on, I like yours and the Honda lit ones, but not sure which will look best on a white EX-L

So it's just open on the ends? They didn't send any black plugs or anything? That seems odd, I would call where ever you got it from and ask if they forgot some parts.

Thanks! We are happy with them, they help the 2 year old get in and out of the car just fine. They are sturdy too, I use them to stand on to wash and dry off the top of the car. Very happy with them.

That's another thing, I usually open the door and stand on the frame! One other question, I heard that the chrome is prone to dents, do they dent easy you think? where did you get them from and what did you pay for them, I thik Bernardi has them for $434, are these the same ones?

Thanks again, very sharp truck!
