Introduction

Car door guards need to do two things: They need to act as a car door protector against scratches and dents and they need to look good by working with. They should not clash against or distract from the paint job. When it comes time to pick the right car door guard, someone might feel a bit overwhelmed at the choices awaiting them, but they should know that the process is an easy one, and can even be enjoyable. There are generally three variables to consider: shape, size, and color.

The Shape – this refers to the style of a car door protector, typically named after a specific shape that resembles one of three letters of the alphabet: U, J, or L. Before selecting the door edge molding, examine the edge it should protect. Look at how the door or hatch opens, and consider what it might be impacting, and where.

The Size – Car door guards that look proportional on one vehicle may appear under- or over-sized on another. The wrong sized door edge molding might not properly protect the car’s paint, either. Think about thickness, too, when considering the car door guard selection.

The Color – This depends if one wants the car door guard to disappear and do their job without being seen or they want it them to add a new visual dimension to the vehicle. Clear car door edge guards can help with the vanishing act, while chrome door edge guards can contribute to making more of a statement.
