I have the running boards. If she doesn't like them, it's a good idea not to get them. They are useless. they are sloped down from the door so when you actually use it (to clean the roof and what not) you slide right off of it.. down right dangerous. and the placement, you will never use it to step in and out.. just useless. I got them for the look but if the look isn't there for you then there's pretty much no reason to get them IMHO.
