Default Body side mouldings

Does anyone have these on an Ultra White F Sport by chance? I'm trying to decide if I want to add them but I'm not sure if I would like the look and I've yet to see another one near me with them.

I have them on my '14 UW 250, and I personally love them. I went back and forth for a while about getting them, but I am glad that I did. Just adds a little something extra to the sides of the car. I am out of town but will post pics tomorrow when I am home.

One thing about them -- if you do get them, get them because you like how they look, don't get them for protection because in a parking lot it would probably be your rear fender that a door hits rather than the side.

I thought I would chime in because I saw a 2IS Fsport with them yesterday and thought they just looked busy and ruined the lines of the car. This is just MHO but I would never put them on my IS.

Here is a pic. I know some '14 IS folks absolutely hate them and wouldn't put them on their cars, but I like mine a lot. Like I said before, just adds a little something to the car.

Thanks for the pic! Time for me to do some soul searching to see if I want to put 'em on.

They certainly don't add anything to the look department, some would argue that they take away from the 3IS lines....

IMO - Don't do it.

It does not look too bad. My only concern is that you can still get door dings with them since SUV rear doors would not hit the mounding since it'll be too low.

The best kind of protection against door dings is to park smart.

Not a fan of those mouldings.
