Default Door Edge Guards

I have very tight garage parking and have to be very careful with opening the door. Sometimes my big feet get in the way and push it open too far into my wife's car. Wondering if anyone has used these? If so, do they blend in well or do they look out of place.

A lot of us have 'em. Mine were put on by a tint shop when I had my windows tinted and my film installed on the front. Yes, they work, but they can be damaged when opening the door and hitting something. But, they will be marred before your paint

Your wife's car - have dents

Instead of putting that on your car, but foam on your garage wall where the door could touch it. That way you don't ruin the look of your car by putting those things on it, and you'll be safe if it touches the foam. That's how I'd personally go about it.

This would not work as the door opens to adjacent car, thanks tho.

hahaha, I already have 2 ***** hanging from the ceiling that I use to guide my mirrors to for strategic parking. One more hanging object and it would qualify for a baby crib mobile

HA!!

Funny you mention that.

He also has this little box mounted in his garage that shoots a little beam of light. Once the beam of light is centered on his dash, he knows he's parked perfect.

You might consider one of those to replace your tennis *****!

All 6 Lexus cars bought by me have had these. I just make it part of the sale deal and have them installed for free. They just blend in and seem like a part of the car that belongs there.
