Yes sir I was surprised and disappointed. I'm going to take Fyredudes advice and try to spray them first before I look for something else.

Here's little update.
Before returning the brackets I called Dee Zee support to see with them if there was something they could do to get me those brackets undamaged.
They told me that they would send me a new kit and add extra protection to prevent the brackets to touch each other. Sweet right, well a few days later come UPS and I had to refuse the package because the box was trashed and one of the bracket fall off the box in front of me when the guy lifted it. When I looked in the box they were all loose again...
OEM it is I guess

Why not get them coated at Line-x? They can match the colour of your paint, change the texture if you don't like it, etc....

I had our local (nearest) lineX place price out doing running boards. Guy wanted $180 per step but it was an over the phone price without seeing the steps. That's a brand new step so he wouldn't have to prep them. If u did a used step or something that needed prepping it would be $320 per step basically.
That's insane for the price of the steps alone was only $400 (Westin HDX drop steps). So image $400 for the steps plus $360 for the lineX so thats $760 plus tax probably for steps. Might as well go with a AMP step at that price.

Well got the OEM black running boards from my local dealer and just finished installing them. They feel much more solid that the one I had previously and nicer quality overall.
I was pleasantly surprise when I saw that they are made in Canada.
