I’ll simplify the viable options for you by saying the grommets won’t work for all eight 4” holes. Go Gorilla, or go home! 😝
Following your other threads. :)

Just opened mail today and wondered what the box was. Opened it up and it was the grommets. Forgotten I had ordered them (feels like ages ago)

Right, slow boat from China! Grommets continue to arrive at my house almost daily! I think I shut the pipe off, finally. If anyone in Seattle wants grommets fast, DM me. I have 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 100mm packages of 12’. F me!

And plastic caps too…

Maybe I should start a “Kickstarter” or “Go fund me” page, for prototyping project expenses… 😆

I ended up placing an order today for the plain running boards. Im not super handy on non-computer things and im more of a measure 2x and cut 3x type so we'll see how it goes with the plastic bits.

So I got my boards today via FedEx Delivery. They left a 8 foot long box standing on the side of my house and never even rang the doorbell but that's not EV's problem. They delivered once I got my notification that my boards were produced and I appreciate them taking the time to do it right - now that is. So my next step was calling the location for install in Van Nuys since I am only like 20 minutes away; what business is closed on a Thursday, I ask you?

So, they were “closed” today? Maybe that location is not a retail location, but they open it up on certain days to accommodate the RB installation accommodation promise?

They may install for you but I'll say I think I understood that they'd either ship or install for you(since shipping is expensive), not both.
