Door panel mouldings
My Honda dealer wants $600 for the door trim moldings on the 2010 Fit. I like way having a molding breaks up the space and looks good (and who knows, there is the odd chance that it might prevent a door ding) but given the price I want to look elsewhere. Has anyone tried JC Whitney or the like to make their own door trim?

Dealers are rip offs.

Holy cow!!! My dealer (Bill Page Honda, Falls church, VA) swore up and down that it cost them over $400 for the moldings, and no way could I get more than 15% off the $600+ price on 'em. How does College Hills Honda do it?
Easy...your dealer is lying.
If you feel like being a prick, print off the page from collegehills.com and take it to them.
If not, just buy the mouldings online and just tell others how dishonest that dealership was.

Then give them the middle finger, come back here, tell us what dealership it was (to steer others away), and order online anyway.

Zeta also have regular ($109) and wide ($150) mouldings. I have not used these personally, but I know others have used (and like) their armrest and hood deflector at least.
My local dealer has "internet only" prices that are a hair higher than College Hills or Bernardi. They say you can only get those prices if you have it shipped to you, but if you ask nicely they will actually let you get the internet price and pick up in store for a nominal fee like $5. It actually ends up being a few dollars cheaper than Bernardi/CH since the cost of "shipping" is so much less.

Keep in mind, that CHH is still making a profit.
Which mouldings to get?

Would the wider ones be more effective in preventing scratches?
