Price ca. 80 euro each when available soon. But I have faced a shipping problem to US, the postal service has set length limit to parcels, 105 cm, these need 150 cm. Common carriers take so huge shipping costs that's no sense. Canada is not a problem, they accept 150 cm.

Only the base part for now. Rubber mats can be found easily every VW spare part shop.

Yes, that's my plan. 4 different versions of running boards, 3 split and 1 oval.
