Good move.

Or you might want to list the moldings for sale here in case someone would like to install them on their ES. The moldings are a $200 option; maybe you could get some of your money back...

Anyone can help with the measurement from the ground up to the point of the front molding and rear point of the molding? Since both front and rear molding goes to a point are they both the same height for the front vs. the back or are the point from the ground up different heights.
