Body Side Moldings

[robert_h]

Has anyone placed door side moldings on their CX 9...if so, was the color match good and what is the brand. My color is the galaxy gray.

I just got some from http://www.sportwing.net/mazdacx907fe.aspx. Stormy blue and they seem to match perfectly. installation was a breeze.

IMHO, the ones are rear doors are a bit too short, but the color matches very well.

Not very clear, but you can see the side molding on the rear doors are pretty short (by about 1-2", I would say).

What are these? I can't tell from the picture or the website.

I agree. The front ones are just the right length but the rears could be longer.
It could also be slightly wider.
Overall, I'm pleased with it and I think it makes it look better.

I didn't take the picture for this purpose. I merely found one that shows part of it.

It is the 1 1/4" wide plastic mouldings(moldings) that are painted the same color and put at the belt-line of the doors to avoid dings on the doors from careless people parked next to yours.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize you could get these aftermarket.

I put these on over a year ago.

Hey ux149,

Where did you get the molding from?

Ceric,

Is this your car in the picture? How did you do the Chrome strakes above the plastic bottom door extensions? They look great and I have been looking to.do similar since I bought the truck. Appreciate it if you would let me know.

A visit to the PepBoyz, and spent about $30 on two rolls of chrome strips.
1" one for the side, 1/4" one for the front and rear.
You might need to do some fine trimming yourself, but nothing too difficult.

Nice, fast and cheap upgrade!!! I literally did the second day we owned the car...same exact placement as ceric. Niiiiiiiiice :)

I ordered a set today for our car...

I'm paranoid about door dings so hopefully this helps...

I've already covered up the front, including full hood, and the complete rear bumper with clear bra treatment...

I'll report back when I receive the molding and fit it on our car...

Tks for the link to this vendor...

I fitted the body side moldings back in August, but just napped a few pics today when I was doing an oil change...They look great on the car with good color matching, and best of all they look like they came from the factory this way...

Looks great! I was wondering how they look on the white since that's exactly what I have. I will have to get me a set of these.

You can also check out www.BumperDefender.com. I am thinking of getting the side molding too for my CX-9. I've already did the rear bumper. Also looking for clear bra for the CX-9 and M5 as well.
