Somehow I ended up with BSM's w/o a template for the installation. In looking at the instructions, it doesn't look that difficult to perform the install without using the template, if I only knew the correct distance down from the door character line. Could someone measure theirs and let me know? For those that have done the install, should I wait for the template or make the wife happy and do it now without? TIA

Take a look at the thread for "Pictures of Side Mouldings INSTALLED!!" for some real photos and directions for installating the side mouldings. I am waiting for mine from Tim but have printed the entire thread and intend to use the hints, helpers, to assist me.

Having done the install, I would definitely wait for the templates. You only get one shot at it and they take all the guess work out of where/how to line them up.

I think rgevans76 has a good idea too.

Good luck!!

    Accessories
    I just purchased a nice after market running board set (Black Raptor Ovel shaped Tubes). The installation seems very straight forward and the hardware seems very sturdy.
