Default Body Side Moldings

Has anyone installed body side moldings on a Crossfire? I have seen some color keyed thin moldings on other high end cars that look pretty good.

the upper body line is on an angle...this might not look so good with a level (parallel to the ground) side molding at a different angle.

i do agree the car could use some added protection.

The upper body line may be an issue. I'll do a bit of experimenting. Maybe even a strip of the 3M Clear Bra strategically placed may be helpful without looking bad. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Don't put any molding on the doors! Just learn where NOT to park.

My wife ask me just the other day, "Why do you park your car way out there and my car so close to the store?" Without saying anything I thought to myself, because it is MY car.

Yes, before the xf I used to do some additional turns to get the closest parking lot. I had endless discussions with my girl about not walking a few steps more instead of driving around the parking site. Now I have similar discussions, but it's more like: "Why that far? Erstwhile you have taken a nearer lot."
Crossfire changes behavior ...
