What is the difference between the linear and matrix step patterns?

The linear pattern uses parallel lines running the length of the step surface, while the matrix pattern uses a grid arrangement. Both provide grip underfoot; the choice is primarily aesthetic and should be made based on which finish complements the rest of the vehicle's styling.

Do the Black Shadow side steps require drilling or modification to the L460 sill?

The steps are designed specifically for the L460 platform, but installation method details including whether brackets, existing mounting points, or additional fixings are required should be confirmed with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering. Professional installation is recommended regardless.

How does the stainless steel construction hold up to road exposure?

Stainless steel resists corrosion and maintains its finish under regular road conditions, including exposure to water, salt, and debris. The material choice is part of why Urban specifies it for a component that sits directly in the vehicle's lower impact zone.

Are these steps compatible with the Urban Automotive Widetrack package?

Yes. The Black Shadow side steps are designed within Urban Automotive's broader L460 product range and are developed to work alongside other Urban components including the Widetrack package.

Description

Urban Automotive Black Shadow Fixed Side Steps for L460 Land Rover Range Rover

Urban Automotive’s Black Shadow Fixed Side Steps are built in the UK using stainless steel construction, developed specifically for the L460 Range Rover to sit cleanly against the lower body line rather than protruding like a traditional aftermarket step. The fit is tight to the sill, which drops the visual waistline of the vehicle and works particularly well alongside other Urban components. Beyond appearance, the steps are functional: they give passengers a solid, stable platform for entry and exit, and the stainless steel construction handles road exposure without corroding or losing finish over time. Available in short and long wheelbase configurations, with a choice of linear or matrix step surface patterns.

About Urban Automotive

Urban Automotive is a UK-based vehicle modification specialist founded in 2013 with a focus on luxury and performance SUVs. Built around an “OEM plus” design philosophy, the company develops and manufactures its own components in-house rather than reselling third-party parts, giving them direct control over design, tooling, material selection, and final finish. Their carbon fiber work is produced at their UK facility, and wheel collaborations series are finished by hand in Miami. The clientele is predominantly Range Rover, Defender, and G-Wagen focused, with each build configured individually rather than sold as a fixed kit off a shelf. Urban has become one of the more recognized names in the high-end SUV modification space, largely because the work tends to read as factory-coherent rather than aftermarket-obvious.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
