    Anyone seen any pics of the painted door guards installed? The small pic on the accessory page does not show very well the side view of the car. We have an XLE inbound and might have them installed for delivery. Our first Prius and looking forward to it. Thanks for any help.

    I’m referring to the painted door guard trim that runs horizontal on both doors. It protects the doors from other car doors being opened and creating door dings. I had the dealer tun the part number and he said they were not available yet to order. I was just hoping someone had pre production pics of them installed. Our red Prius should be in this week. Hopefully.

    You're asking about the body side moldings, not the door guards.

    Here's a video showing them on a Cutting Edge silver XLE or Limited Prius:

    Thanks for posting this. These don’t look as bad as the 2022 side molding.
