Hello everyone,
Thanks to Tim 2nd day expressing the first set of silver side mouldings to me, I now have them installed and will share the pictures with you.
(1) First off, the installation is very easy. Took all of 10 minutes to do. The templates supplied with the side mouldings are very useful.
(2) Make sure the top of the template lines up nicely with what they call the character line of the car, which is a raised edge all along the body.
(3) Another thing to watch out for is to make sure the bottom of the two templates for the front and rear door lines up nicely. Otherwise, your side mouldings will look crooked. I used masking tape to secure the templates to the doors.
(4) Also, don't forget to use Isopropyl alcohol on the area where you will be adhering the moudling strips.
(5) Unfortunately, the templates don't tell you exactly where to place the moulding strips as the strips do not cover the entire length of the door. Markings on the templates would have been helpful. After examining my Honda Odyssey and other cars on the road, I concluded that the blunt end of the strips should line up fairly close to the edge of the door. The tapered ends point toward the front and the rear of the car.
(6) Make sure the strip lines up nicely with the template before putting any pressure on it. Once it is sticks on, it is very difficult to pull off again.
(7) Apply pressure evenly all along the strip to make sure it has securely adhered to the car.
I tried taking pictures from different angles to give you a good feel of how it looks. I am very pleased with it.
