Since they are stainless, they should be good. Chrome plated steel ones I'd stay away from. Depending on where you live, they rust through pretty quick.

Is say they're probably stainless. I've seen alot of factory Ford nerfs but no rusty ones.

I regret getting mine, I should've saved up and got some nabs. But that's my opinion, but durability wise I'd say they are about the same.

There are different grades of stainless(so I'd get a name brand) and you can get them cheaper online with free shipping - check out http://autocustoms.com/p-786-ionic-3...nerf-bars.aspx
