Default '13 Crew w/ Nerf Bars, Splash Guards and Mirror Covers Installed

Finally finished installing all 3 myself. See pics below.

I love the splashes of chrome on the black; the stock grille surround and lower front strip, lower side door molding, door handles and roof rack side rails, and now the nerf bars and mirror covers.

The nerf bars were $180 from truckchamp.com. Quality seems good especially relative to the price and they fit perfectly into the existing holes along the pinch welds. Nice and sturdy when installed. The plastic step pads are hard and a little chintzy; hopefully they don't crack after repeated use. I don't like are the 3 nuts along the bottom of the bars that you can see from the side. I may plasti-coat those black or something to make them less noticeable. And the radius of the brackets is smaller than the radius of the bars themselves so the fit isn't great, but luckily that's hidden from view.

I didn't like the pics of body-matched painted splash guards posted by others, but the standard Mopar black plastic ones go pretty much unnoticed and blend perfectly with the Crew trim's plastic wheel well trim.

Those bars will hold up well and they match the chrome strip nicely. Same company makes them for the Ridgeline and they held up fine on my wife's 07. Just put a new set on her 2013 RL. Black does show chrome well-I'm thinking of ditching my stock R/T wheels for some chrome spokers......and that will be the only chrome on the car. Thinking of de-badging the chrome emblems. Like the flaps, ha ha.....I have company!

Nice job man, and what really brings it altogether, is that beautiful color surronding them, but I wont dwell on the awesome color or the whiteys will be on my tail.

Where did you order them from? Looking at those(call the Dodge dealer and they are 110 or so for each door handle) and the chrome side mirror covers to bring it all together as well(too much color in between the lower chrome and the roof racks). Color on mine is the Pearl Red...would have loved a more monochrome look but it is what it is, so need to make do with what I have..

I got the chrome mirror covers from:

It's strange that the car came with chrome door handles but not side mirrors.
