OEM Rock Rails vs. aftermarket rock rails?

[TrustButVerify]

Has anyone tried the OEM rock rails ( PT738-35244 ) and compared them to the after market ones? Looks like you can get a pair of the OEM rock rails for about $800 shipped, which puts them quite a bit under aftermarket ones, but I'm not seeing anyone who has actually bought and installed them. It's not even clear if the OEM version comes with the hardware necessary, since there's obscurely named "hardware kit" that seems to be related to this, but no description. No install info online either to see if it is possible without some odd procedure or tools.

The lack of info around the “hardware kit” is the reason I haven’t purchased these myself

I’m not seeing a weight on the parts listing either? I wonder how much each OEM rail weighs….
