    Should body side molding be placed at an angle or should they be horizontal to the ground?

    I think wavy. You will never get them perfectly straight. Wind flows swirly, not straight. Would look cool.

    I like mine raked a bit. Thanks to mainemanx!
    The photos can be misleading. From my sidewalk to driveway it is level. My driveway is very inclined. I think my molding could be 1/2" lower in rear (bit less rake). Rav4 molding. Overall, I like it:

    I install mouldings on cars as part of my job they need to be parallel to the upper body line
