If durability is a consideration, the die cast would be better?

Per the description, Black and Black w/ lights are extruded aluminum.

Does anyone think the Passport just looks more rugged or complete with the Running Boards and Mud Flaps?

A related note with Splash Guards, it is either Splash Guards or Fender Flares. Cannot have both installed.

Which ones would have the best grip if they were covered with snow or slush?

Description as follows:

The Honda Die-Cast Running Boards add a rugged, aggressive look to the Passport.

• Durable die-cast aluminum
• Step features a nonslip coating for safe entry exit

The Honda Black Running Boards gives your Passport a super-aggressive look while increasing side splash protection.

• Main structure is lightweight extruded aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance
• Custom-integrated design ensures a solid fit
• Polished stainless steel trim with custom step plate provides added eye appeal

The Honda Running Boards with Lights gives your Passport a custom luxurious look while increasing side splash protection.

• Includes LED lights which illuminate the boards when entering or exiting your Pilot
• Lights turn on and fade out when a door is opened/closed or when the doors are unlocked/locked with the keyless transmitter.

So the die-cast are aggressive and the black running boards are super aggressive? ??

The other way around. The die cast is $675, black is $450, black w/ lights is $550... MSRP.

I heard the same but it is false I had the fender flares installed at the dealer and the service advisor also thought I couldn’t have the guards too but they were able to install the flaps too fortunately / love my flares and flaps ?

Interesting. The fender flare instructions indicate that the splash guards cannot be installed. Your car looks good!

How difficult is the installation for the Die Cast running boards? They look the best in my opinion... dealer wants $1000 installed price. Rather do it myself but is there any drilling or cutting that needs to be done?

There is a link at the bottom of this page to download the instructions. Fairly straight forward for a DIY. Some cutting, scraping and paint touch-up. No drilling required.
