Body Side Molding???

Hi,

I have a 2005 Lariat SCREW 4x4 and want to know if anyone has installed body side molding on their truck.

I am tired of getting "dinged" by other doors in tight parking lots. Please provide source and link if possible.

Thanks,!

I bought mine from http://www.sportwing.com/ (look for the painted molding) Top quality, very easy installation and the paint matched perfectly.

Theres some photos of my Super Crew with the molding on page 3 & 4 of this link.

I agree with Neil, the molding from sportwing.com is top notch. It has that factory look, nothing chessy about it.

Does the molding come pre-cut? How does it adhere to the body? 3M tape?

Thanks

Yup, the molding is cut for your specific vehicle and is held on with the 3M tape. The molding also has a ridge on the back side that fits into the groove on you truck. That worked well for keeping everything level. Total time spent for the installation...maybe 30 minutes.
