I know many of you dislike the idea of bodyside moldings, but some may be interested in the added protection.

Came across this post on eBay for a painted wing spoiler and found they also have painted body side moldings too.

Don't know the cost and haven't made contact to find out, but if anyone is interested, here is the link to check it out (scroll to bottom of the page to view):

The idea of side molding is good but this particular one just doesn't interest me.

The moldlings are way too thin to give any protection.

The moldings are placed way too low to give any protection.

These moldings highlight/exaggerate the length differences between the front and the rear doors. (The rear moldings are less than half the length of the front).

Sounds right on.

In fact, from the picture, seems like there's no doubt about it. It seems like with the curvature of the side of the car, the moldings just don't protrude beyond the "plane."
