if you haven't already done so, don't buy the Westin's, the Platinum Series are crome over stainless. if you want Polished stainless go with Smittybuilt, Nasta, Luverne, or Bully. I have been shopping and learned about the Westins.

I got some Bully "Big Daddy" Bars, 3 1/2 inch, all stainless. They are highly polished and look great!

I like my Westin Platinum Series... the plastic "steps" broke off a few weeks ago and both were replaced entirely under warranty. I think the warranty is lifetime, which is why they're a little expensive (still cheaper than factory). Chrome over stainless means they don't rust.

I have a set of the platinum series chrome over stainless and so far they are working out well, considering the daily salt baths in PA. I would like to have the front pads set back a little farther, but they are non slip.

I have the Westin Platinum series on my 03 F150. They have been great to date and can't imagine not having them. I did recently move to the Western MD and it has snowed most everyday for the last 4 weeks and that means plenty of salt and road abraisive and such and not likely I will be able to wash the truck for some time. I will try to remember to start a thread in the spring and let everyone know how they held up after this winter.
