Default Door edge guards

Looking to buy door edge guards to protect the NX from hitting the wall in the garage. I notice that Lexus sells them, but they seem overpriced. There are some at Autozone at a much lower cost.

Any suggestions?

My wife didn't get them with her NX. However I got them on my RCF. The OEM ones are color matched exactly to the paint. You can't even tell they are on my white car. I've seen others that are clear. Eventually those will turn yellowish..etc. Probably depends on what you are looking for but I'm happy with OEM.

I saw a life hack youtube video. if you only have one wall to worry about, you can tape/glue pool noodle on the wall or something simpler.

While there may be cheap clear door edge guards that, over time, turn yellow, clear door edge guards are also part of what is available as part of a paint protection film package, and, if the film used is a high quality film, they should not yellow over time, and they are virtually invisible.

If the OP is interested in such clear door edge guards, I'm sure that he/she could have a paint protection film installer put them on. I'd guess that the cost would be quite minimal because very little material is needed, and the installation can be done on all 4 doors in a matter of a few minutes.

Forget the edge guards, they end up scratching the paint along the door edges due to the accumulation of dirt and friction. Instead, they sell stick-on rubber pads that you can mount on the wall that you can buy from Amazon for dirt cheap.
