They look very nice ... a perfect match on the color. Thanks for posting the photos.

In the future I may opt for the same ones you have (if I get a door chip that needs covering) but will stay w/o for the time being. I'm pretty careful where I park to give not only my doors room to swing but also doors of others. I can use the exercise and sometimes still jog (people look at me like I'm crazy) into the grocery stores as I tend to park 'out in the booneys.
We think alike! I also park far away and enjoy the benefit of exercise and a scratch free car!

Have not yet jogged, that is cool.

I'll be 68 in a couple of months and it looks kinda silly so I just pretend I'm out of red wine and need to hurry .

The net in the back is excellent to keep those bottles from rolling around

59 here. I hope I get one of these excellent cars! I get so wrapped up in the details I cannot think straight.

Thanks for the photos. I took a look at mine yesterday, holding them up to the door. Did anyone else's (prior to installation) appear to be 'bent' wrong? Just holding mine next to the door, the curves do not match at all. Made sure I had them as the package was labelled (i.e. driver side, etc). But they sure are not curved the same way.

At first glance I thought they were curved wrong as well. The guy at the body shop told me it took two of them to install properly. They have to be manuevered and tapped on with a rubber mallet. Once they were installed I couldn't tell that the curvature was weird.
