Chrome door guard mouldings

[BeauxXL1200]

How difficult was it to install the trim side body molding ?

Not difficult at all. Just make the appropriate measurements and lay the measurements out on the truck with masking tape, and then apply the molding along the masking tape. Measure twice, cut once.

Yes I installed them. Bighorn model though.

I am Installing the chrome molding on my truck but I have a question...on the rear or back door does the Beveled end of the chrome go to the back of the door or where the front and rear door meet...Just not sure...looks like you put the beveled End of chrome where front and rear doors meet...can you help with that...

I just put the body color moldings on. They do look good. Not sure why I waited this long.

One suggestion for anyone wanting to do this.....you can use double stick scotch tape on the molding backside (before the tape covering the final adhesive strips is removed, obviously) to temporarily attach the moldings to the doors and line them up....then run masking tape above & below the molding, remove the molding/temp tape/adhesive tape covering and then attach. It works perfectly and is much better than using a tape measure, etc. to sight up the molding lines.

Saw this on Amazon customer review of the same aftermarket molding mentioned above....one guy (maybe he's a member here??) cut the molding down to shorten it and installed it in line with the "RAM" lettering....thoughts (one positive I can think of is the molding sits higher and might further protect from door dings, etc)?

I wish I would have seen this before.

I don't know.....one minute I like it...the next I'm like "meh....the OEM placement looks better". Like I said though, that higher placement may mean better protection.

I’m going to have to convince myself that the OEM placement is better at this point...but agree on better protection...certainly seems like that would be true.

Just put them on this weekend.
They really make the RAM on the door POP...

Here’s a couple of pics of my Longhorn with their molding. Very pleased with their product.

Looks good. Where did you buy the molding from? Thanks

I bought the bought the painted with the chrome insert for mine. I absolutely love it. They are very well made and the color match was perfect. You can't go wrong with these.

Don’t want to bring up an old topic, but has anyone installed these on an already ceramic coated truck? Don’t want to lose a molding piece as I’m driving down the highway!

I'd use some IPA to prep the surface, but that 3m tape ain't no joke. It will stick.
