Usually a lot of these dent places will do $60-75 a whole panel, not just a ding. Not sure if you have one in your area, but try to setup like a dent day to see if you guys can get a discounted rate. The S2000 club does this quite a bit.

FYI, when I bought my IS in June of last year, Lexus did not offer a OEM body side molding. Since then, they now offer a BSM for the ES, but not the IS. I would be very wary of anyone selling a BSM for the IS, since I believe it would just be a modified BSM for an ES, and may not be a perfect paint match for the IS . . .

I've been down the "protective molding" route many times and invariably lost. The dings as they came (and they ALWAYS came) were above, below or beside the molding. Still I do everything I can to minimize them.
