    Nope, not without replacing your rocker panels.

    Those in the pic look to me that they bolt to the body mounts and not the frame rails . Someone much more knowledgeable will know the answer.

    Per the photos on Amazon, they will mount where the oem running boards mount, under the body using existing threaded holes.

    Too poor to buy anything now
    Just my opinion, they look very nice, but they look too low for offroad use.

    So it could be as easy as just removing the OEM and replacing it with these? I will have to see if I can find some videos to confirm.

    It is for my wife, she doesn't really off road so they would be more for aesthetic purposes.

    The Nightshade and Limited have different rocker panels - they're lower - than the other trim levels. No one makes rock rails / sliders for the Nightshade or Limited.
    Your options are:
    1. Cut the rock rails to work with available sliders
    2. Replace the rocker panels (figure $700 plus labor, or DIY) with the other trim levels' rocker panels
    3. Come up with a different gift.

    My vote is #3 ;-)

    ^^^True. Although these mount like the oem side steps, they will not fit a Nightshade without removing/cutting/replacing the rocker panels.

    The rocker trim pulls off pretty easily. Option #4 FTW!

    Watch out for the rear door trim, I had to cut some corners off to clear the door when I put C4 sliders on my LE.
