    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"

    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.
