You also need the little computer boxes to allow the door chimes and warning chimes to come through the speakers. As well as steering wheel controls and back up camera if you van has the factory ones...

These are the ones I got;
Volcano Running Boards

They were inexpensive, and they look good. Each little "nub" is rubber, and it comes with the black ones installed, but you can remove them and put the orange ones in instead. I haven't had the time, but my plan is to place a few with the orange at each door.

Canuck is right. I paid about $90 for the magic box that keeps the chimes and OnStar. I don't subscribe to the OnStar, but it is a cell phone, and by law it has the capability to call 911, regardless of a calling plan.

BTW, I'm diggin' the red. I window shopped for my van for over 2 years, and only saw one red one, and only a couple others that weren't white.

Yes they do. I have the long wheelbase, and they fit fine.

Edit; I just hit the app guide, and they don't show the long wheelbase will fit. But they also stop at '14, and I have a '16. I got them through CarID. They were $415.45 ($69.21 S&H). I just went through the process with '06, and they say it fits the "regular" van, and the boards are 100" long. I just went and measured mine, and they're 100" long. I just guess we're "regular"
