Hello,

Just waiting for my FX45 to come in and the dealer has two new options. 1 is a stainless steel running board and the second is a black cherry wood kit for the inside. I will upload pics of both. Your comments are appreciated.

It makes the car look weird :roll: I think running board looks better on taller SUV.

IMHO....**** no!!!

Seems there isn't a need for them unless you are quite short. It does look better than what I had pictured in my mind, but I would never consider them for my FX. If that was the only FX available to me, I'd ask the dealer to remove them IMHO.

negative on the nerf bars...

1) the car has only 7.6 inches of clearance, UNloaded

2) you wind up with dirty pants mostly, when they are that low


what do they want for them, btw.........

:?:

good point with getting your pants dirty. I thought it would make the car look better (not that it needs it) from the outside..I think everyone has had the opinion to scrap them.

 

[Sweet Fx]

I don't think so.

 

[FXLENT]

Personally I would pass on both!

 

[4tyson]

thanks for the advice.. that's what this site is for!

Those things belong on a big truck... the FX is way to sophisticated, sporty and car like for that.

 

[fxer]

agreed agreed agreed
wow looks like a landslide
they do not fit the car

 

[esemes]

after looking at em again, they kinda resemble sidepipes (like oldskool cobras ran).......


now that might be a nifty idea.............

 

[particlefx]

So you'll have dirty pants and burned ankles too? :wink:

I guess I'll pile on. I agree with the above. You would have to be less than four feet tall to need the running boards on this sporty little suv.

Did you post the black cherry wood kit pics? I saw a pic elsewhere on this site, but I would like to see it with the brick/black interior.

 

[4tyson]

hello

I will take some pics and post ASAP

The running boards look better than I expected, but I must definitely say "NO WAY" to this option. It clashes completely with the concept of a sport SUV especially a performance-oriented one like the FX. Not only that, it adds weight, drag, serves no practical purpose, cost you $1K? while detracting from the clean profile lines of the FX.

Now, on a true offroad SUV like the HUMMER H1/H2, I'd say go for it!
