    a lot
    Color match is good

    Did you consider removing the emblem and sticking the molding closer to the edge?

    Not bad! I have the predator bars, which poke out a bit and I hope will dissuade people from banging into my doors. If it's another truck or SUV they'll ding 'em anyway. Damn I hate door dings.

    Yes I did, but I had to put it over the door dings to cover them.


    I also have predator bars, didnt do anything to protect the door dings I received. The location of the side mouldings was right where the two door dings were, one was from a mustang, and the other I dont know.

    Thank you for the photo, I'll be buying the lower version tonight.
    I have rock sliders with kickouts, a front winch bumper and soon to have full steel rear bumper not just for future wheeling protection but also peace of mind for all of the Southern California idiots / kids that are terrible at parallel parking (my home office is in Pacific Beach, San Diego) and or kids at the grocery store who love to kick their car doors open like the world is a free-ride carnival..

    Glad my dad taught me when I was 5 not to be a jackass. Wish all parents would carefully teach their kids to pretend other people's precious belongings were their own and people probably wouldn't be careless and damage them and/or steal out of them nearly as much.
    Sorry for the rant. Been a long, very hardworking productive week. :oldglory:
