You do not have a craving for magnesium do you? (An in joke)
Actually its for when someone parks next to me and I can slam my door into their side. (kidding).
The edge of the door is already missing a little paint from previous owner and I also park really close to my other car to give more space between the idiots in the lot. The factory stainless ones on the Buick work really well.
