that just make the car look ugly, imagine a piece of plastic along the side of ur door? I also have a feeling it might not even be painted.

Wasn't even offered it when I bought my car. I asked about all sorts of options, and my dealer said there really wasn't anything.

I don't know if he was trying not to rip me off (cause he new me) or he was just a moron...

Okay.....lemme show you guys:

Okay you can see it on this M3, it's painted red so it's hard to tell. But they act as door guard, cuz ppl get door dents/scratches from others opening their door. That door guard helps cuz you probably just have to repaint that piece, or replace it.[/url]

ahh I see what you're talking about .. the celica doesn't really have lines to be able to have that .. at least from what I can see ..

Iis there any things of it on the web on a celica ?

I've actually seen a pic of it. I think it was in black. didn't look too bad, kinda broke the car up a bit. But it looked a little cheap, cause you never see a celica with them, so it was out of place.

I had a feeling it won't be painted. That price is too good for something painted.

I'm impressed that it's actually painted! But still ugly IMO.

not bad at all. if I had that, I wouldn't have a series of one inch scratches on my driver door from a pregnant lady slipping on the ice and using my car to save her baby.....

oh well, atleast it was for a good cause.

Not worth 100$ :down:

IMO looks better without it

that only protects ur doors against dumbasses who dont have good parking lot etiquette

those really really do not suit the celica

i find it looks ridiculous
look atthe way the celica is designed
those moldings cant physically run parallel to the door lines
that's why it looks so bad
