I had the side moldings and install included, but they did not get them in until after I had the car for a few days so I had some time to gaze upon my unmolded TCH. The car looked a bit better without the moldings, and I knew this before I got them but I went ahead anyway because my Sienna has pretty much the same style side molding and it taught me 2 things.

1) They are not perfect at preventing dings, but unless you park your car diagonally thru 4 spaces, sooner or later they will pay for themselves. My 3 yr old Sienna still has no door dings and while I'm mindful to try to park in spots with decent room, I don't go out of my way.

2) After the first 6 to 12 months (depending on how long you keep up the new car wash and wax regiment and stand back to admire) you'll forget all about the slight change in appearance (unless of course you have a mighty ding right where the molding would have gone).

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
