Thanks again for doing the ground work for us. I just took mine off right now. For anyone reading this for future reference, its 4 brackets not 8 brackets.
Speaking of that, if anyone is planning on doing this, I will mail you the 4 brackets and just pay me for shipping. Then all you need to buy is the 8 bolts and 4 molding covers. Just shoot me a message on here if you want them.
