If you follow the instructions and register with your ID from here you will receive a discount.
I wonder how involved to install - something the dealer should do or could I do it?

Depends on how handy you are. If you take your time, clean the area and use tape as a guide It should be realtively easy. In looking at it it looks like you'll need to remove the current Hybrid badge before installation. You can ask Sewell if they have any installation instructions. You can also get them here http://ct200hchat.com/shop/

Just curious, does it serve any purpose other than for aesthetic reasons? If someone were to slam their door into your CT 200h, I don't think this would do much in terms of protection because it's too low in the door, right? Please advise.

I would agree with that statement Matt.

They could have left is as a standard feature, but with everything, the more you add, the more it will cost....hence driving the price of the CT even higher.

^^ but really how much would it have cost. As a part accessory, its less than 200 dollars, and coming from factory it would probably be cheaper. Adding $150 to the base price would have been negligible. Perhaps they could have added it on the Premium models
