Hey folks,
I'm thinking of getting side steps or running boards for my 2017GT. Has anyone bought any of those commonly advertised on ebay? If so, what are your thoughts. Any pics?
Thanks in advance!

i just ordered these off ebay and they should be here on Thursday. I plan on getting them installed this weekend. I offered $250 for mine and they accepted the offer.

That's the exact same ones I'm thinking of ordering! Could you please post pics after the install? I'd love to see what they look like. Also share how the install went. Was the fitment ok? Any issues?
Many many thanks in advance!
Will do, i'll photo document the install process for you and let you know of any issues i come across
Which ones did you order? For all the ones I see for sale on Ebay, they say no drilling. They also claim to come with instructions. Can you post a link to the ones you bought?Does anyone have instructions? I ordered a set and im not sure what to do. Do I drill? Cut away the plastic?
These are the ones I bought:

They use these little metal brackets. I cant figure out if I need to drill or not. I do not see the holes readily apparent underneath (visible).
Any help is much appreciated!
Here is a picture

Why would you need side steps on a Mazda CX-5???
It only sits 7.5" above the ground!
That is only 1.5" higher than a Honda Accord!
You're saying the Accord seat is the same height off the ground as the CX-5? It has nothing to do with ground clearance.
Unless you are elderly or have a physical disability, there is absolutely no need for side steps. Unless you think they look cool, I guess.
It's called customization. Some people want their ride to look a little different than every other stock model. Think motorcycles.

I get it. Different strokes for different folks.
Always liked the appearance of side steps on utility vehicles. Not like I need to explain myself as to why I want to purchase something for my car lol.
