I got my side molding from metrotpn.com and am very happy with it. I'm not sure if it's made by Toyota but it looks great on the car.

I checked them out. Too thin for my taste. I think the Highlander ones will fit. But their almost $300.00

I guess it's the new style. All new cars don't have them - Camry, Solara, RAV4, Yaris etc.

I don't know why but at least the Prius has *some* design to the doors not like some cars where it's just one flat piece of sheet metal.

Considering vehicles now days are sized anywhere from sports cars to Hummers, the only way for side moldings to protect against everything would be if the entire side of the car was a side molding.

And thats why i'm not buying side moldings. If I put them on some jerk in his tall truck or small low rider will find a way to ding my door and miss the moldings. I think the side moldings look nice on the car but I think the car looks better without them. I try to park in empty parts of the lot when possable. So far I've been able to buff out all the scratches and dings with that gs-27 crap. I had some prety nasty ones too. Some people have no respect for other peoples property.
