gracias!

looks great (esp without the without the wheel trim rings!)

I think those are the perfect height / rake

The way I did it ( or tried) was to start at the rear at wheel well height and rake forward at the same or slightly lesser angle as the door handles ( which in turn is a slightly lesser rake than the crease above the handles) The effect is that all of the lines converge at a single point forward of the car, which to my eye both gives the car more apparent length and an apparent lower profile.

 

Prizzle, would you mind if I print a copy pf your car, with your description. Might be easier when I take it in to be done.

TIA (hopefully),

Yer welcome and I am flatterred.

Gonna start raining again here tomorrow for another week or more.

 

About 2 months after I put my moulding on, I screwed up and parked next to a lifted GMC 1500. Guess what I found on my door after I came back to my car???

A dent and scrape about an inch long on the driver side door about 8 inches under the window. Why don't they make these Prii out of the same plastics that they used to make the Fierro out of. Or the same stuff that Bell used to make telephones out of. It has to be lighter than that CHEAP LIGHTWEIGHT TIN that Yota uses.

Yup. This is the only thing that keeps me from spending the money and time to put the "protectors" on. When I park next to other cars, I realize how few of the doors would actually strike the protectors if swung all the way out. Pretty small percentage! The BEST solution is to require everybody to have door edge guards on their own cars. If everybody had it, everybody is protected, no matter the shape/height/size of the other door. But no... leave it to me to protect everybody else's car... sigh.

 

That was the BEST feature of my Saturn LS- the plastic side body! Car looked new when 5 yrs old!Can't figure why it never caught on with any other makers.......
