One of the most annoying things that can happen to your Toyota Prius is to have some thoughtless person open their door and hit yours. Well, that and when they rub their shopping cart along the side. Short of going ballistic on everyone in earshot, the best thing that you can do is install a set of side body moldings to prevent these accidents from ruining your paint job.
You’re right, you should not have to add side body moldings to your car. People should just pay more attention, but they never will. So, you are left protecting your car.
Side body moldings are custom fit for your car and are easily installed. The hardest thing you will face is making sure they are straight before you stick them on. They are painted to auto specs to make color matching seamless.
You have quite a bit of money invested in your car and probably want to keep it at least until the loan is paid off. Why deal with door dings and anger when side body moldings can prevent both?
