solution to scratches under door handles

I have a black fit. By the second day i started seeing small scratched where my boys were opening the doors. I see on college honda they are going to offer a trim piece for that area but it isnt out yet and will be expensive.
A cheap good looking solution:
I went to the craft store and bought the foam sheets with the sticker already on the bottom. I made a template by putting a piece of paper under the door then rubbing a pencil on the edges to get the shape. cut the template out then trace it on the sheet of foam. Cut four of the shapes out. Now pull the paper off the back and place under the door handle.

Worked perfect. Has been on 3 weeks and went threw the car wash once. It looks like it will last. was very cheap less than a couple of $ and took about 10 min to do.

This piece?



Yeah I'm thinking about getting this as well.

My only concern is if this piece covers the common scratch areas?
What do you think from your experience with your children?

Thanks.


These are available from this ebay seller Items for Sale by plijokkjiu46521kkjh

From what people are saying he's very reputable.

He did have some door handle protectors listed last week, I guess some one bought them, I'm sure he's gonna re-list more, or just email him.

I got the Venture Shield (similar to the 3M film). Looks clean and almost unnoticeable.
