Default nerf bars

I was wondering if there are any oval nerf bars out there other than Westin. I am looking for black ovals. I can't seem to find any on Putco and was wondering if anyone knew of any other websites I could find them at. A google search hasn't turned up much for me.

Don't know why you would look outside of Westins (best nerfs by far in most people's opinions) but here are acouple ofothers available in black oval:

Well I put the Westins on. I eneded up having to use a friends impact wrench because I couldn't get the body mount bolts loose to save my life. Everything went well until I found the passenger rear mount didn't match up to the holes so we ended up having to drill one. It wasn't even close, actually. But they are on and looking good. They a little closer to te body than I would have thought, but I can live with it. I also droped some water out of a couple of the body mount bolts, has this happened to anyone, and is it something I need to be worried about.

Westin's should have lined right up. I put mine on Tuesday afternoon. After removing the body mount bolts (yes, I had some water drainage also), I put on all the brackets ("finger tight", as instructed), lifted the side bars into place and again, "finger tight". Checked alignment and torqued everything down. Only PIA for me was the front rocker panel holes were covered with painted tape and they just about escaped my notice.
