When it comes to these, it does sound ike you get what you pay for with OEM vs eBay, but how much is 800$ in US currency? The eBay ones are simply for looks, not actual purpose since they don't make the step any bigger, they just screw down overtop your existing ones. The real ones extend out further to make an actual step.

It's been mentioned about the same downsides as well with them getting pants legs dirty, but I also suspect that people are actually using them if that's happening and instead they're just trying to step over them. I want them for the simple fact of putting less pressure on the side bolster of the seat when climbing in and out since the X is so much higher off the ground compared to my 7. Every time I climb in I'm just waiting for that side plastic piece with the seat controls to snap off and/or a tear to start happening at the seam of the seat.
