Unhappy Help Me Save My Door Edges

My 09 LS is Black Sapphire ( dark Blue ) and the door edges are chipping away. I’ve asked my dealer for Door Edge Guards to no avail. Anyone know where they may be available? I’ve searched the net but only find black or clear.
thanks in advance for your replies.

Do you routinely open your doors up into things?

I'm legitimately curious why your door edges are chipping away, I've never seen that happen on a car before...

You must not have a Wife or a Daughter that drives your car.

Point is the simple solution to the door edges chipping is to not open your doors into things. All the rest of us parked next to you will appreciate that too.

What color are you looking for? Chrome maybe?

The doors are all the same. Just buy them for a different year in the right color.

Just order some Lexus door edge guards from Lexus with the color of the car....... The color might not be exact but it will be close.
TIP! When installing the guards make sure ALL wax is removed BEFORE installing or they will come off....... Once they are on, keep an eye on them to make sure they are not coming off after washing the car.
