Side Strip to Protect Latio from Dents
« on: July 06, 2008, 05:58:51 PM »
Anyone knows where I can get this installed?

About how much does it cost?

Latio is very prone to dents from motorists who are inconsiderate in opening their car doors.

Difficult bro, I observed that door of different vehicles can hit our latio as different height, some higher and some lower. If I'm not wrong, no sure way to protect our car from these variety of doors.

You can try to prevent normal sedan car door but may not able to prevent door of higher height such as SUV or Lorry.

Don't waste the money.  Not effective.  May improve the look only (based on individual's preference as some find it ugly).

Bro, think you have a bottle of touch-up paint from TCM, can use that to cover your scratch. Protection devices I do see one of those at DIY stores under the car section, but personally think quite ugly to paste it on all 4 corners of our bumpers... :blink:

Nope... Touchup paint might not be standard, may have to check with your SE.

I did install these protectors for my car but it's not a guarantee against determined motorists who want to scratch/dent your ride
