Ugly and certainly not my style!

Thanks for posting instructions. Got my bsm in the mail today. Ordered from a Lexus dealer for $89 + $8 shipping (my dealer wanted list price). Installed easily (was just washed and has been in the garage since), I always have simple green in my garage so needed nothing to get done. It is the wife’s new car and am trying to decrease door dings.

I think they are love hate relationship, a buddy of mine has them in his NX I personally prefer the car without them.

I bought the car used and the car came with them on it already. They did save the doors because both sides have chips on them.

New member, first post. I read this thread and concluded that my wife’s new-to-her NX300h needed them. Installing them was a breeze thanks to the instructions. As some point out they won’t stop everything but if they stop some, that’s worth it - and it’s cheaper to replace the molding than to call in the dent guy.
