RX Door Edge Guards
Got an email from Sewells touting factory colored-matched door edge guards for the RX. Looks interesting, so has anybody have an opinion on these edge guards?

I had a local detailing shop put 3M clear strips ($39CDN) on my door edges a week or so after getting the car. They are nearly invisible and don't collect dirt. The material is the same stuff as the 3M car bras and it seems very tough. I think an invisible edge guard looks better than a vertical chrome strip which ruins the appearance of the car IMO.

I have the same thing as kwbuggy. It was installed at the same time as my clearbra at the dealership. You can barely see it unless you are up close to the door edges and I've accidentally hit the edge of the door a couple of times against my shovel hanging in my garage. It seems to be doing its job so far.

I just had my whole door done. They wrapped the protection film, around the edge.
It will protect it from hitting something else and damaging the edge of the door.

Please keep us posted how this looks over time. Mine on the hood looks terrible after a year and a half. Some damage from the elements and some from...operator error.
And if you can some photos would be nice. I'd like to see how they handled the handles or handle cups.

I was thinking about doing the same, I am hoping it will prevent dings but I would think it will be very hard to keep clean. Keep us posted of your experience.
