Side Moulding worries???

Just wondering for all of you guys who have removed their side mouldings...
aren't you guys scared that if you park at a mall or something, somebody might
ding up your door when they open their door to get out of their car? Just wondering
if those of you w/o side mouldings ever fear about that. :?:

Side Mouldings

Those who have removed there side moldings:
If you have a lunar mist corolla-S and have removed your side mouldings, i would buy them off you.
Reply if you have them

Honestly, I don't see how it's going to stop a door ding. The height of it just wouldn't seem right.. most SUV/trucks will hit the door way above that, as do a lot of cars.

I guess you gotta risk dings for looks...

i've had my car over a year and still no dings or dents on the doors[knocks on wood]...i'm not gonna remove the moldings...i don't mind them at all...i think the car looks really plain w/out them

Mine's shaved... I think it's looks cleaner like that, and everytime I wax it, the residues don't get underneath the moldings... just a personal preference I guess

But then again, we have to parallel park at work and I rarely use my car to go to the store.. so I don't worry about dings at all.

Hehehehehe. "Real" forum members would never park close enough to another car to ever get a door ding!! :twisted:

Man, I park OUT IN THE BOONIES -- as far away as I can possibly find from where-ever I'm going, hoping to avoid door dings. "Get near a curb," so I can get a half-inch away from it, giving the Yahoo in the next spot over more room to get everyone out of his car.

And so on. My previous car was a 96 Paseo, and I never got a ding of any kind on that. I plan to do likewise with the new Corolla!

i have a one foot scratch on my side molding...sure glad its on that and not my door.

lol...i think i realize why i don't have any dings...i park very far away too...walking a lil ways is worth it
