Has any one installed door edge guards? Are they worth it? Does it look silly? I'm debating as I may have some careless passengers who might not survive if the ding my doors.

Definitely worth it if opening the door into a wall or another car is a frequent occurrence. Personally I'm not a fan, but its just because I don't like the look of them installed. Black ones might look ok on a black car.

Examples:

If anything, I would suggest getting the clear vinyl ones as they will look more inconspicuous.

Thanks! I'm in between something more robust like these or the clear vinyl. I have a machine grey Cx-9 so not sure if the black onew would look bad.

You can test the look if you've got some black electrical tape. Just put it on like you would the edge guard, and if you don't like it you can peel it off.

Why do you need something more "robust" than the clear vinyl? It should be more than enough to prevent minor scratches from accidental door swing dings.

The vinyl on my Mercedes didn't hold up to my family members lol.

Sounds like this is just a band-aid fix to an underlying problem lol. In that case, I'd go with the thicker stuff until they learn how to open doors without hitting anything
