My Fit is a Door Ding Magnet
 
I swear no matter where I park some idiot manages to put dings in my door. I already have about 4-5 dings ranging from slight scuffs to cry-worthy damage. Any advice on removal? Or at least making it less noticeable?

Sounds like a repaint is in order.

I installed the side moldings on mine. I am 2 + years and no dings yet.

yeah...i was afraid of that -_-

Where did you get your side moldings? Was it DIY?

i'm extremely paranoid of door dings, thats why i park way the hell out of the way or if i absolutely can't, i try to park next to minivans ironically. they have sliding doors so the bastard kids can't just swing the doors full force.

I can't recall. Off Ebay I think from a Honda dealer. They are Honda OEMs. They look much better than some that are wider and just plain round ends.

They come with templates to mount and easy to do.

Parking garages own my car. At least I don't get snowed on though!

I need to get these myself. Dealer has them for around 200$.

exactly my mindset too! that or nice sporty sports cars. people who have fancy race-y cars will be nice with their own stuff, so very slim chance of being dinged by them.
