I was looking through the accessories for the 2016 RDX and was wondering about these two items. First, does anyone know exactly what the advance running boards look like, in comparison to the sport step ones? Also, has anyone seen the illuminated door sills? How do they look at night? I recall there used to be an aftermarket mod for door sills in the 3G TL forums, but I don't recall any OEM Acura ones back then.
I believe the difference in running boards is the length of the step (1/2 or full), chrome finish or silver and different design.
As for the door sills. I haven't seen the Acura ones in person. Thought about getting them but it's not a big deal. I have seen them in the Range Rover and a few other vehicles and it's a nice touch. No real function except looks.
I've seen them at the dealer in person and the Advance ones look nice. Doesn't look like there is much to step on but they're not as bulky as the rest.
The advance boards show a chrome facia the entire length, they look very nice. I am debating on getting them.....(read pricy)....as they are just cosmetic. As for adults there likely would be little function, however they would be nice for smaller kids, as they are not real wide.
I have yet to get dirty pants from the running boards. I use them, great for cleaning the roof or if you need to put anything on the roof rack. RDX stays clean since I applied the hydrophobic coating. Rarely gets dirty.
