Looks good!

Regarding your side remark on shopping carts. So you still get those dents even with the extra strip on the doors? I was contemplating getting them to prevent people from denting the doors.

Interesting - they said the same thing with mine. Do you know if they replaced the door?
yea if the car is that damaged they said they can pop the door out but it'll never look perfect or replace the door which would probably be cheaper which is what i did =0)

I don't think that the side markers are worth it because some carts are too low and they go under the door.... but I didn't want them they can with the car =p.. I think if the door is damaged its damaged + if the side markers get nicks and stuff I'm guessing you would want to fix that too =)

Looks great! I'm confused though.... Why does your E60 have a plastic strip going along the center of the door? Those are the door-ding guards I see, but I don't see other E60's with them.

Glad to hear your damage was repaired and finished to your satisfaction.

I also noticed your body side moldings. Where did you buy them? Did they come pre-painted and was the finish a good match with your car?

Our mall parking lots are a zoo and people seem to like the idea of using high-line cars as door stops!
