How well are the aftermarket mouldings holding up?

    Are they holding up as far as adhesion and durability to sun, rain, washing, waxing, etc?

    Also, does anybody know how exact/flush the edges are after applying them to the doors? I've seen pictures of them from a distance but none in extreme closeup.

    Mine have been on for 6 months...thru a Chicago winter. No problem. Still on as tight as the day they were installed.

    Mine look great and appear to be permanantly adherent. There is a sub-millimeter gap visible all around the edge of the moulding visible only on careful close-up inspection.

    Have had mine on since May04 without any problems what so ever. Still straight, smooth and look'n good.

    Thanks to all. The color match looks pretty good. What do they feel like? Soft and spongy or harder like the Prius bumpers.

    They're firm, more like the bumper.
