    For those who have installed the side moldings...did you purchase the ones with or without the chrome strip....
    This will be my next purchase for our new "v"

    I have the blizzard white and purchased without the chrome strip. I looks great!

    Very Nice...did you add that chrome to the bottom of the door? I don't have anything like that on my 5

    The profile is not high enough to cause any significant drag that will affect the MPG.
    Unlike the mud flaps which many believe do.

    I installed the side moldings last week end....very simple...there is a you-tube showing a young woman doing it that was very helpful......

    I feel it really helped with the looks of the car...as though there was something always missing...until now.
