That handicap permit seems like a good strategy!

yea sucks, a month after i got my 2006 sc430, been garage kept in my apartment, then decided to move to a rental house. The landlord didnt give me a garage opener so i left the car outside. I thought it was a nice neighborhood but i was wrong, 3 round paint chips on the side of my door, all the way to the steel. Seem like some body shot my car with a bee bee or pellet gun.

Track down the offender. It should be a swift death.

Arrow dings and other things...

There is only one thing perfect in this world and it isn't a car without dings....
[perfect pitch in music if you didn't know]

Exercise is healthy, need to park where others don't... having said that even those who park out in Timbucktoo with you, can also be obnoxious and purposely open their car door without respect for your vehicle... it unfortunately comes with the territory of driving...

Some people are also just jealous of your ride and need to be mean...when no one is looking of course, -->makes themselves feel good in a sick way that a fine driving machine can get dings just like the rest of the commoner vehicles.

Can't change the world, but can change where you park your ride.

Its a trade off and should offer some peace of mind.
The protectors have three contact points (silicone type material)on each section(no contact on the full length of the protector., the material is high quality. The Car should be clean otherwise there is potential for slight scratches, there is a theft potential, however it does provide peace of mind when you have to park next to other vehicles.
The position they are mounted is not optimized, I just slapped them on the car to show you what they look like.
