Had To Add Side Moulding (Photo)
The '07 CLS550 I purchased had absolutely no door dings even after 34K miles and I just had to add side moulding. I intentionally avoided a straight line for the moulding, instead using a curved line which I believe enhances the beautiful lines of the CLS body.
I purchased the 15/16" chrome moulding from AutoAmenity at:

BTW -- I also have completely covered the front of the car and hood myself using 12" wide rolls of 3M Clear Bra from Xpel http://www.xpel.com/products/bulk.asp and covered the headlights with Xpel product from AutoSport at http://www.autosportcatalog.com/index.cfm?fa=p&pid=332.

BTW -- the touch up paint from www.drcolorchip.com is excellent. In my experience, the factory touch up kit is too dark for the iridium silver.

Ohhhhh no. It's a complete distraction from the original lines. You should've photo shopped it first. Not a good look. I do not think anyone is losing sleep, but I think we are more shocked that someone would add an extra line to an already perfect car.
