They look great. I always like Body side molding - have it on my current 2001 RAV4 and it's saved me from some serious damage a few times. Once my husband was driving, and he was driving the speed limit, and I thought going a bit too close, and then we came around the bend and whomp - traffic was at a standstill - he only had one place to go - between a car and the highway's right side guard-rail. We braced ourselves as the car plummeted into that tight space and came to a screeching, scratching stop. Oh God, I thought, there went the right side of my car - we didn't stop as the traffic then began moving, and I really didn't want to see my beloved car's side all bruised and banged, so I refused to look. About an hour or so later we finally took a break, and went to change drivers. When I got out and looked I was rather shocked. The body side molding, along the side, the tire-well, and part of the front bumper's side, were scratched up, that was it, that was all the damage. No dangs, dings, or dents to the steel at all - the body side molding took the brunt of the force. So, I really believe in getting these things, and I was glad that the Mazda had all that reinforced plastic molding up front - below the bumper, along the wheel wells, and along the sides.
And now that I know I can get this extra piece of body side molding, I certainly will - these things do save cars. I have proof of that!
