A matching push bar may make it look better but as it stands, nah!

Yeah, they do break the lines of the RX.

Has anyone seen what the running boards look like on the 330? We were considering getting some since my wife is having a hard time getting in and out of the car (she's only 5 feet tall). The dealership I bought the car from has them for $600 installed (which I think is too much). They are supposedly illuminated and are black to match the bottom of the RX.

Let me know if anyone has seen what they look like...

NO WAY! Illuminated?? I'd love to see that in-person - I'll have to ask my dealership. In the meantime if anyone has pix of running boards for the 330 please post 'em!

I have seen the factory running boards on a black onyx 330 and they look sweet. I was almost going to get them except they are not that functional. The step does not come out that far as in the LX, but at the same time I think it stays true to the lines of the car. I did not notice if they are illuminated, maybe the lights in the showroom were too bright. IMHO they are more for looks.
