Default side bars

can you get side bars (or step bars as some call them) for the xb?

i was washing the car and i noticed pop-out pieces (covered holes) under each door near the tires.. possible attachment spots?

Those aren't structurally sound.

Why would you need step bars for a car that's 10" off the ground, anyway?

You're talkin' about running boards. To fit you would have to find miniature one's. IMO, they would look funny to ridiculous, making the car appear shorter than it really is. It would also make the car appear to be a 'wannabe'. The comment you would get is, "Why didn't you just buy a REAL van?"

Yeah, my car is only 6" off the ground and it is stock. The guys in the local club are trying to get me to lower it... well, I'm trying. I'm eating as much as I can to gain weith but there is only so much I can do! This car's got some good springs.
