After lusting awhile for side steps, I have decided
I am ready to install them on my 'X'.
I have spent quite a bit of time searching all the threads concerning
side steps, but still have not really been able to answer the questions I have.
In giving me your help, I would like to keep
the price difference of the Manik and OEM side steps out of the
equation.
I have seen ONLY the running boards in person. I did check out the pictures
of both the side steps and running boards on the threads, but sometimes
a picture does not do complete justice.
I am interested in the real difference of how much the Manik steps stick out,
versus the OEM. Is there really a big difference or is the real appearance difference due to the different shape
and diameter of the two brands of side steps. Has anyone been able to do a side-by-side comparison of the Maniks vs OEM side steps?
My other question is how well do the black painted side steps hold up?
Do they show scuffs from usage? A year from now, am I going
to have a real nice shinny Granite Green MDX, with dull, scuffed
black steps?
I would like to hear about your long term experiences with the steps.
Thanks....
