Body side moldings

rangercarol · 10-06-2010, 11:50 PM

I am considering side moldings for my new Z. I am willing to trade off a little in looks for the extra protection against inconsiderate people. Anybody ever seen them?

Don't tell me to park far away; I already do that.

Don't do it... you'll trade off more than "a little" in looks.

That's essentially what your Z will look like with door moldings.

If you really want protection, contact your local Mazda dealership for the retrofitting of Miata doors. Otherwise, just leave it alone. Don't ruin the look of your car because you're afraid of parking lot dings.

Paint jobs are a whole lot easier to spring for than lost dignity.

In all seriousness, this isnt the type of car that would support body side moldings.

OK, OK... I get it - no bodyside moldings!

Second smartest move you ever made!

First smartest move: Not buying a Mustang.

side moldings are useless and they make your sports car look like a sedan.

save your money for PDR.
