You'll get what you paid for. The ebay cheap stuff isn't functional as it is just attached to the OEM plastic side panel, which means you can't actually step on them. The OEM running board, on the other, is functional. If you search around, the OEM board can be had for a few hundreds more. IMHO, either get the OEM brushed aluminum or don't get anything at all.

As a business person, I have heard only bad things about how they mess your pant legs with road grime. But, I love the look!

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.
