What model year is the RX the photo? I like this look a lot. Do they feel nice and sturdy?

Thanks for posting the photos. It helps to see them on a car, and and it helps even more that it is the Nebula Gray...

Somehow I lost the front end caps on the tubular side steps and manufacturer couldn't provide me a replacement. Finally I came across a very reasonably priced good quality running boards ($170 including shipping) from a US manufacturer. below see the link.

Premium 69" Side Step Running Boards for 10 13 Lexus RX350 | eBay

You can also email directly to customcorvetteaccessories@gmail.com for additional info.

These ones are similar to the running boards posted by AconRx but from a US manufacturer not from China

Cool! More options! Wondering if this can be made with a brushed aluminum trim rather than chrome/stainless steel...

I've found AconRX's euro-style steps on Amazon
Amazon.com: Firstouch 10RX-YCCT LEXUS Brushed RX350/270 OE STYLE Running Boards Side Steps: Automotive Amazon.com: Firstouch 10RX-YCCT LEXUS Brushed RX350/270 OE STYLE Running Boards Side Steps: Automotive

Just not too sure about the vendor since they're overseas...

Hi Doug,

It is 2013 RX 350 Nebula Grey Exterior. As I mentioned above I shall post the pictures later today if I can get back home early today. The manufacturer rated the running board to easily hold up to 350 lbs. The installer was almost 265 ibs and he demonstrated its sturdiness by stepping on to it. Others who has seen it express the same feel, all liked so far. I tried to get a brushed aluminum instead of chrome but I couldn't from the same manufacturer.
