CX-9 Side Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

[DashingMax]

What are our options for installing Side Steps / Running Boards?
It seems Mazda does not offer anything yet, so we may not have any OEM option.

This is all I found online. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Another link...they seem to be using the same underlying database.

Emailed Westin Automotive inquiring about side steps availability. They said that there is nothing in the works nor anything planned for the CX-9.

Mazda OEM - None, confirmed.
Westin - None, confirmed.
Waag - None, confirmed.
Manik - None, awaiting confirmation.

Installation is pretty easy, however, no one makes one for our CX-9 yet...not even Mazda!!
