Well i think all you guys are spoiled with the power running boards...... my xlt chrome running boards collect snow and crap from winter driving and i also have mudflaps.
But i prefer the streamlined look of your guys trucks with the power running board. Took my boards off and now the wife is nagging me to put them back on

I thought they could only be set to stay out until you hit a certain speed, then they retract again? Perhaps I'm wrong.
You should be able to do this. If you turn off the auto out feature using the menu on the main dash. I believe once you hit 5 mph they will go up but should stay out when parked and doors closed.

I love my power running boards, but more importantly so does my wife and our boxer! I have got nothing but positive comments about them from random observers to folks riding with me. They do collect dirt, sand and clay from dirt roads, especially clay, but it ain't a big deal. The clean look and ease of use far outweighs the minor dirt collection!

I have to ask where you sourced your HID headlights from? Are they aftermarket or '13 from the dealer?

Haha true that. Those OEM '13 headlights had to cost a pretty penny.

They look sooooooo good though.
