I have not, but I like the idea of them. I wish the site has better pictures of the moldings.

Default Body side molding

I checked this out when I purchased my 2012. When you look from the top of the door to the ground, the part of the door that protrudes out the most is in the upper part of the door. I do not think the molding will give you the protection you want, reference the position they show it in their photos. I had a 2010 previously and was also told that by a car detailing company. Just my opinion and I decided to be careful where I park and walk a few extra steps to where I am going. I also think it ruins the design line of the car.

I am also careful where I park. In my opinion this spoils the look of the car.. However if you have to park in public spaces a lot of the time this may be better than dents and dings.

I bought them from Sewell several years ago. They do not detract from the appearance of the car and do protect the doors from some damage, but not all. For the price, it was worth the investment.

Kinda ugly...just park far and walk it. Look for a stall that is at the end so your chance of getting door ding is decreased by half.
