If you end up buying new, strangely they are cheaper on ebay rather than on their website.
Just fitted some - very pleased with them.

Be warned the prospeed all in rock and tree sliders do not have any drainage holes along their length unlike other items of prospeed under body protective gear. These will fill up with water just sat fitted to a car left outside to the weathers before you even take your beloved swimming.
You will get some drainage whilst driving but as that drainage is more bias to the front end than the rear due to the shape, momentum alone will never drain them fully. To fully drain them park up on a reasonable downward slope for five minutes.
I don't really see my having much choice but to remove and refit mine scrapping the warranty by putting in drainage holes myself as I really do not fancy lugging around sill wrecking legionella troughs.
Despite Bens assurances this is not an issue I really don't see prospeed stumping up for replacements sills as a consequential damage due to flawed design.
Other than that they look absolutely awesome.
Photos are from my ramping the front end to check my suspension reservoir etc, D3 has not been off road in any form since fitting them in August. I have more photos today having rear ramped it to check my rear brake splash guards etc and it gushed out the front of each slider.
