That's kind of like saying ... "my keys are always in the last place I look!" ... of course they are, why would you keep looking for the keys after you've found them?

Point is ... if you have moldings, then the ONLY places you can get dings is where the moldings aren't. I think they do the most good in the garage at home when your wife gets in or out of her car 2 feet away multiple times each day.

I had OEM Lexus ES350 body side moldings installed on my 07 IS350. They are SGM and match my SGM exactly. They look as though they were designed for the car and they break up the unattractive slab sided look...they look good...have had lots of positive comments.

Just get the dings popped. I had my GS400 done had a bunch of dings and it only cost me 10 bucks a ding.

I have to say those side moldings are butt ugly.

omihomiii

well said, ugly... the molding devalues the appearence of the lexy. I dont have dents dings watsoever caz I always park my car far away from others! or if I have friends, park together and reduce the chance of getting DING!

i'd think many rear doors would hit higher than the side moulding there. hard to always park by 2-seaters for flat edges or gull wings.

That is funny.

My point re: moldings...........No moldings for me. No sir. On the IS I think they just ruin the looks of the car. JMO.

wow, actually thought about this the other day wonder how it will look on the IS. Next thing someone post a pic

Several steps I've found good for reducing door dings.

Don't park on inclines; only flat surfaces.

Don't park next to coupes, or beat up old dirty cars.

And if you have to park on an incline, get the end space at the top of the hill.

I look for short doors and light doors. Like you say, no coupes. But I'd sooner park next to a beat up old Tercel (with short flyweight doors) than a brand new Caddy DTS (with heavy doors that could double as battering rams). Young children don't care if they're in a nice car or a beater, they'll fling the door open without a thought.

Will do later today...after I figure out how to.

Hope this attachment works...it will only let me attack one pic. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting the pic! I think it looks great, but it's hard to tell from the small image.
