Default 07 TAHOE BODY COLOR RUNNING BOARDS? WHERE?

I saw this tahoe on ebay. I love the matching paint running boards. I want to get some. But where can I find them? Are they painted? I WANT TO KNOW WHERE? Check them out, 07 Tahoe White Boards

Lastly, the mirrors are also solid white. They dont seem to be painted, are they? I want them also? Thanks, Landon.

Read the write up. It talks about custom paint on mirrors and boards.

I think the one on eBay had the bottom half body color.

73shark, yes the bottom half of the mirrors are painted or parted in all white, no black. I have the white top half in white from the factory, i need the bottom part.

What write up are you telling me to read on custom paint on mirrors and boards. I am confused on what write up you are talking about? thanks guys.

Head over to you local friendly body shop and they'll hook you up!
You can tell those are factory boards, just painted.
As it states............looks like entire mirror was painted as the wedge at the glass and swivel knuckle is also white

You think the boards were painted? that surprises me. I wouldnt think they could be painted and the paint hold up or stay on?? Opinions?

Lastly, on the boards in the picture do you think the top part that is black was just left unpainted, or is it some kind of black mat or something that was put over an all white board?

I think you'll have to paint the bottom half. It appears to be the same type of mat'l as the running boards and therefore will require a special primer.

The writeup I was referring to was the bottom of the eBay listing. He explained about what the truck had on it.

As far as his boards go, I think he just painted the black boards and masked off the part that's still black.

Thanks for the input. I will ask my local body shop and see what they thing.

What are others opinions of the matching color of the boards and mirrors? LIke, dislike, ok, etc? My tahoe is white with factory 20's. Thanks, Landon.
