I just installed a set of Stainless Steel nerf bars on my 06 F-150.
Got them off e-bay for $174.99, with shipping, from truckparts411.
The make is Raptor. They're 16 gauge (.065). Here's their website www.raptorseries.com
He does not list the make in the auctions.
They have a lifetime warranty on the finish, minus the usual rock chips, etc.
But that's the same for any manufacture.
Installation took about 30 minutes.
I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow, when the sun comes out....
It's raining cats and dogs.

I also just installed a set of side steps/nerfs in stainless steel on my extended cab. Installation was easy for me and my wife. Fit and finish excellent. Shipping and packaging was excellednt also. These were purchased thru Ebay seller "Grilles4U" at $171.00 (including UPS shipping). I am "very careful" with ebay (don't trust them), but this seller has great product...just no name branding. They have some real neat grilles for Fords too...cheap.

4. Apply another coat of Just Once a few times a year.
That's it, color is restored and looks great!
I've heard of others using Mop N Glo and even carburetor cleaner, but I've never tried it.
Everybody likes pics, so, here's a LINE-X color match (NO-fading!):

UPDATE:
I finally decided on what nerf bars to buy. At first I was set on black nerf bars but after reading some of the posts about the good quality of stainless steel, I went ahead and got the Nasta stainless steel nerf bars. I posted a picture of them on my truck in my gallery but it's not a very good picture. I'll have to take another one later.
