I would suggest saving for a set of AMP retractable steps. Those are awesome. When I installed mine I took my factory steps off a couple days earlier... boy was that a mistake. I bruised my legs many times falling into or out of the truck...thinking that they were there....
not once have i used my bars...ya its factory height but still...i enjoy jumping in and out....my other option is leaving them on and gettting them powdercoated the same color as my bumper

My son took the stock running boards off of our CC SD, and replaced it with this Rhino product, in powder coated black.

Its something different, and everyone seems to like the way they look. They make a long model for ford CC's.
