[RRS in MN]

I am considering getting running boards installed on my 07 MDX, since I didn't do that when I purchased it new. I am having problems with my hip, so getting in and out of the vehicle is tricky these days.


My service mgr at the dealership tells me I won't like them, as pant legs, skirts, etc. will get dirty when the weather is bad. (I live in Minnesota.) At this point, I don't care about the aesthetics--I'm just tired of hurting when I try to get in my car.



I want the widest ones I can find, but the Acura Accessories page doesn't say how wide the various options are. Can anyone offer suggestions/thoughts/opinions on the subject? Do you have them? Do you like them? Are they functional or simply for appearance? Responses appreciated.

There are different OE Options for the Running Boards..
You have the:

1.- Stock Black Running Boards which protrude a little longer and actually work as Running Boards
You have the same 2.- Stock Running Boards but in Chromed
and Finally you have the 3.- Sport Running Board which is in my Honest Opinion totally worthless as Running Board, It looks amazing and completes the looks of the X but do little to nothing to help you get in.
