Highlander Kit

My kit came with the running boards, flares above the wheels, and mudguards. They also custom painted them using the OEM paint color. I guess this is the actual OEM kit Toyota installs that is now available for aftermarket without going through the dealer.

You can purchase the kit unpainted for $675 + shipping or pick up and have it painted by your own bodyshop or for an additional $400 they will use your color code on your vehicle and paint.
Ask for Cheryl 800-321-1903.

How difficult is the install? I'm quite handy - is it a DIY type project?

It would be helpful if you explained exactly what came in the kit;
running boards?
fender flares?
side molding?
spoiler?
mud guards?
etc??

This kit is easy to install as long as you have some DIY knowledge. All brackets are bolted directly to OEM frame using current holes. No drilling on frame.

My oem running boards required i enlarge one of the holes with a drill as well as make some cuts to the plastic under panels.

Either one of two things are going on here. this is not a toyota part or you didnt install it and do not know what you are talking about.

Either way...... the kit is still kinda ....now many pieces of "flair" do i need to work here? haha

The OP owns or otherwise represents the company that manufactures the kits. Supporting Vendor status is still in question, so this thread may not survive much longer if SV status is not acquired.
