bumping this thread, anyone know if the blossom boards fit the R1T as well?

They do indeed fit the R1t. I just installed them last week. Definitely had to swap the brackets around as others have noted. Also, with the right combination of swapping I ended up using only the 17mm and TP55s. The original instructions calls out using the 15mm with the TP55 for the front bracket but doing that "tilts" the front bracket and the board doesnt sit flat. I can take some pics of the underside if you need them.
Sorry for the night pics. It got dark by the time my install was done.

Thanks so much, pictures look good already. I ended up going with the evsportlines boards and just waiting for them to ship.

At first I did not as it was gonna be a pain and I was hesitant about cutting the panels. All the noise of rocks hitting the exposed underside and the salt and sand in New England convinced me otherwise so I took a crack at it last weekend. It’s not the cleanest install but here are some pics:

I measured from clip hole centers and other fixed positions that aligned with the panels then used a rotary tool to cut out the slots.

You can wriggle the panels with the slots over the ends of the brackets without removing them (just remove the boards themselves).
I hope this is helpful.

Wow. That’s great.
wish you had taken template of the panel after cutting and before installing them

I want to get these but the clearance bothers me. The other brand is much more flush with the body but their shipping is delayed and the price double.

Haha. Trust me, I had thought of that. But I would be lying if I said I didn't have to take the Dremel to widen the slots while they were on the truck to align better because I'm a hack. Also with the slots on the brackets and the mounting brackets on the boards themselves they can be mounted with a little slop so my bracket angles may not be the same as everyones.

You know what. I feel the same way. The evsportsline model is so flush. But 1k

Thought it was just me. I bet if these guys don't, someone else (are you listening China) will come along and do it.

I hear that. I found with these mounted as flush as I could get them I didnt have as much room on the board for my boots as I would like so I mounted them further away. Flush absolutely did look better and likely minimally impactful to drag coefficient.
Also, my wife was starting to get pissed about all the spend on "accessories" so these flew under the CFO's radar at ~$400.

Completely agree. Do you mind sharing pictures of how you running boards r installed? Like the gap and the look ?

Sure. I'll take some pics tomorrow when the daylight comes back. There are some pics of my install a bit earlier in this thread but prolly dont do the spacing justice and they are at night.
