For sure. Factory is always better. And very sleek looking too.
What year was used in this thread Wolvee? Why would the '98-'02 look better?
I just might pick me up a set. Lol
I used one from an 05+. The picture below is the older 98-02.

That's the years I was looking at initially but decided I didn't like the look of the holes or higher profile side supports.
The one I installed is growing on me, I think the reason I didn't initially like it was that I was looking at it from an elevated view. I'm sure the first time I have to put something up there I'll be glad I did it.
I'm using Krylon Semi-gloss black to recondition the black color. I'm not cure if I'll use a UV protectant clear right now. I may disassemble it at a latter date and do it then.
I took off the rear plastic trim piece, then counted 5 mounting holes to the rear and made the cut.
Used a file to clean up the edges and then sprayed to cover the bare metal.
