Looks very nice. Do you know how a smaller or medium size car door matches up when opening into the side mouldings height on the 450h. It seems like a door might still hit above the moulding, but I do not know for sure ? Have you tried doing this with another vehicle that you own to see how it matches up re: protection.

Yes I did that with my 2010 Camry XLE before I put on the molding. I wanted to see if the bottom molding on the car would stop a door and saw that it would not do it. After the new body molding was added try it again and this new molding will take the hit and not the door. So that was a good $100 to protect the doors on my 450h. How do you put the footer on your post ? With the year of car and other things about it

Thanks for the reply---good to know re: the molding.
To put in a footer/signature in your messages, do the following:
1. Log in as you normally do,
2. Go to the "Quick Links" link at the top of the page (listed as one of the various links),
3. scroll down to "edit signature" and click on it,
4. Put in whatever you want as your "signature" and save.

You will likely have a blank (no signature at present), so you are creating one when you edit.

Many thanks for posting instructions about the signature to messages. I have been wondering ever since I joined this Forum 11 months ago how to do it.

You are welcome. It was trial and error in how I figured it out.

Nice post and appreciate the info. I like the look now that I can see and will be getting me a set. On the mud flaps can you get them the color of the car?? And how much and where did you get them?

Figures because the mud guards are made in Canada.
