Default running boards

So i am looking to get running boards on my rx. Does any body recommend a certain kind or place to buy them from? I think the silversport comes with a pair and it looks nice.

Only company that comes to mind with regard to the RX300 is WAAG, www.waag.com

All in the eye of the beholder ... functionally: Rx is little too low and little too short for the running boards to be practical on them.

I agree. I am 6'2" and every time I “slide” into the seat it fills like I am sitting on a bar stool. I don’t have to bend or jump to it. Really nice feeling. Redundant running boards would be in the way.

Running boards on an RX would make access less convenient.

I agree, mine came with them and I've been debating whether to remove them. I always hit my legs and i have to take the last step before hopping into the car further because the running boards are in the way.

Not unless you attached rockets on the running boards.

I just ordered my running board from Boards4less & still waiting for it. It should arrive soon because I ordered it painted. Once I install it, I will post the picture here.
