Body side moldings

Carnutt · 10-05-2009, 11:04 AM

Anyone know or have experience of a site in town that installs these? (I rather not use the dealer.) I know that they can same you some parking lot dings. They sell them on this site's store.

I install them myself.

But if you don't want to install them yourself and don't want to use your dealer (I don't blame you -- my dealer charges $280 labor to install them!), then I'd suggest going to a body shop that you trust. Body shops do moldings all the time. I believe most body shops will charge you $20 to $50.

BTW, it's hard for people to make recommendations for a "site in town" when they don't know what town you're talking about.

Does anyone have them on a 2010 ? I'd love to see pics since side view of the Prius is so different pre 2010.
I installed them on my 2009 and although not perfect I gained a real sense of accomplishment and "connection" to our Prius by doing it myself.
