    It looks like that is just the side rails, not a complete rack.

    Says it comes with all installation hardware, but I am always reluctant about O.E. Style items. So me in the long run would pay more for the actual OEM Version as some people have had leaks with the OEM Versions. I would hate to go to the Dealer if this started leaking, and they said this is not an OEM Roof Rack so you are on your own.

    well main use will be just for the looks. lol. my truck was missing 1 of the weather stripping on the roof when i bought it. i did look up roof racks on TWf and seen people talking about the OE racks just wanted to know if someone was using this knock off that is 1/2 the price of the factory.

    If its just for looks then I would only be concerned with the leaking issues others have talked about here.

    A friend bought that one for his truck and it was trash. He sent it back and got a refund. Spend the extra money for a set of OEM bars.
