Door Edge Guard Recommendations
Anyone found any tasteful aftermarket products? Particularly any that can match a vehicle's color?

Even if the color matches, they will be quite visible.
Why do you want them?

These were installed on my Sclass when I bought it 3 years ago. Works great, hardly visible, has protected the door paint nicely, particlularly the large rear doors.

Why not have a vinyl wrap with clear paint protective film? They could wrap the entire door or just a thin edge strip. The line from the vinyl wrap edge is hardly noticeable. Good luck!
