First off, I am a debadging type of guy.  With that said, has anyone used some type of side protection to prevent door dings.

I've kind of promised the wife I would use my new truck as my work vehicle to insure the purchase. 

So far I have gotten two door dings from what I can guess in the work parking lot.

 

I found these, curious if anyone has used these and if they are close to invisible as they seem?

Thanks, Brent

I have had very poor luck with door ding protectors over the years.  The chances of meeting up with a door that lines up with your trim is not as common as we'd expect.  I know it is not always possible, but I exercise "defensive parking."   If the people on either side of me won't be able to open their doors freely, I find another spot.  This seems like common sense but I am amazed by the number of truck owners who appear to pride themselves in squeezing into a small car parking stall. There are people (and I know one) who will not hesitate to open their car door until it rests securely on the vehicle next to them.  ?

No door guards. People guards. Park away from the crowds. Sure, you'll get the car parked next to you when there was plenty of spaces around. IMO they parked out back for the same reason.

Besides the walk will do you good.

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for something since I bought the truck !

Good to hear, it took me awhile to find them. I thought the price was very reasonable also. 

Just set the link to money miser (WIFE) LOL.

Well shoot  ! Looks like I might have overspent  by $35.00 !

 

Don't tell the wife ! They were on sale !

Haha, she just approved it. It looks like the exact same stuff. Seeing a Black truck like mine helps a bunch. Thx @Julio13
