Running Boards

I have a 2013 JX35 and this past March found this web-site and ordered the running boards from Amazon. They have just arrived a month later into Ukraine where I reside. It took two guys, three hours and $20 to install.
My question to everybody here is: as you look at the pictures I posted how come my running boards are shorter than y'all's?!?!
(My guys said and I looked for myself- this is the only way to install them if using the holes already there, not drilling or bending any metal). Thank you all anyway as either way I like the looks and functionality of my purchase. Like my Infiniti too))

Since you're the one who started the trend I owe a 'thank you'))) Appreciate the time and effort to tell us all about these running boards.
I still can't wrap my mind around the fact how short these running boards are in comparison. May be European market JXs are longer body??))
And as for the mud guards - I certainly gave it much thought and too think they would improve the overall look and close the gap, however since they are plastic and do make the vehicle clearance even lower I'd be afraid to break them coming off the high curbs and hitting deep holes in our country, so I refrained from installing all four of them.
I have to admit that without the mud guards and the running boards this SUV looks sportier, and more respectable with all of them. Well, it's a family hauler anyway)))
So, once again - thanks!
The length of the running boards do look slightly short, but certainly not bad at all. If anything, you could add mud guards behind the front wheel well to close the gap. But overall, looks great... cool to see it on a silver body.
 
I just installed these running boards onto my QX60... makes it much easier for my 4-yr old to get into the car.
I am from Ukraine and looked all over these running boards. Was quite puzzled Inifiniti does not offer original ones. So, I thought I'd just sit tight and keep my eyes and ears open. Seems like what you have is the answer so I will just check out if I can have these shipped all the way from USA to my country. Will let y'all know how it goes!
Thanks a bunch to everyone for all the useful info, pix and the web-links.
