I don't have them ether and I don't think the car look more aggressive with them .
When looking from the side ,they give a optic illusion of the car being lower .
I think if they came in black with the night package ,they would sale more of them .
Not for me ether !

I have them and love them. My wife and I agree that it makes the car more aggressive/sporty looking.

I much prefer the satin aluminum trim piece on the standard rocker panel to the full running board. I'm looking to get mine wrapped.

~ I wouldn’t own one without them.

The running boards complete the lower half of the vehicle since the lower part of the doors kinda wrap under the lower side. The boards also tie the wide wheels together from front to rear added the balance needed to complete the look (especially with the 21” wheels).

I special ordered mine with the running boards and it showed up without them. Truly looked like something was missing. I refused delivery without them I place. The dealer installed them at no charge.

Personal preference for me I guess.

The GLC63 has a flare to the rocker extension to aid with the balance I’m speaking of.

they are perfectly fine. I never actually use them because the car is low as it is.

I was was standing on them for the drag races last weekend but if anything happens I will just rewrap them.
