running boards on glc43 coupe

So happy to be back as a mercedes benz owner after being away for three years. Last week I leased a 2018 glc43 in selenite grey and having a difficult time on deciding whether it looks better with running boards or without. I know its a preference, but still want some input on whether our cars look better with them or without. Looking forward to your responses..

I got them because it’s the wife’s car and she prefers the step. I think they’re very functional.

Plus they look like they might protect the doors from parking lot dings?

I had the same dilemma when I ordered my glc63 wih night package. I choose to have them, personally I like the look and it's easier for kids to get in.

And your wife drives this? This is the exact look I'm looking at for when my lease is up on my C300. Question? The rims, are they MB rims? Aftermarket? What size?

With. Compliments the shape, without them the sides tuck in too much. Now, how to change from brushed aluminium to black? That's what i'd like to have.

My exact thoughts, wish i could change the brushed aluminum to black. Personally love them on a black glc but not crazy about them on selenite grey. Was thinking of removing them but i feel bad for the money that i spent on them.

Let me know if you decide to them them off. I'm contemplating getting them on my black GLC63.. I chose not to have them in the first place and now having second thoughts after seeing all the instagram photos of GLC63 with running boards.
