Are Bolts Visible When Installing Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps On Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

Question

Question:

Im interested in installing Carr Super Hoops #125771 on my Mercedes Sprinter 3500. This is on a Thor C Class RV.. Question is - is the mounting hardware visible when looking directly at the step once its installed? Some of the pictures that Ive seen on particular vehicles ex. Chevy Pickup show the heads of the mounting hardware visible right above the step. I cannot find a good picture of the Mercedes Sprinter 3500 to compare.

In regards to the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps part # CARR125771 which are a fit for a 2010-2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, there will be two bolts just barley visible from outside the vehicle. The two visible bolts are those that attach the bracket to the rocker panel seam at the very bottom of the cab. I have attached a generic photo to show the bolts. That said, there is really no way around using these bolts nor do we have any other step options so I recommend taking some touch-up paint and painting the heads to match the body color that way they don't stand out though I am sure you are going to be the only one to notice them.
