I have no idea why people remove their ding guards, obviously for a cleaner look I guess. They're there for a purpose ye know. I'm keepin' mine on.

A) I think they look fine, I like them.

B) When some idiot opens their door and hits my car, it'll be much less to repair, and it'll prevent an otherwise large dent, or small dent, etc.

Based on many many posts on this website, we all know that there are a ton of idiots out there, so I just assume leave them on there.

When mine were still on, it seemed like they offered no protection at all. Every car I parked next to, I would look at the doors, and it was obvious that they would hit higher than my door dings were. I didnt mind taking them off at all.
To each their own.

First off you need an intake, then you need some Ford Racing 9mm wires. That will give you some show and some go!

The ding guard is not meant to protect your car. It is meant to protect other people's car from you when you open your door.

When other people open their doors, they will hit on roughly the same level as your side mirrors, where your door kinda bulges out.

The problem has only exasberated as the prevalence of SUVs have grown, with even higher doors -- the bottoms of which are clear above your ding guards.

I think the cars look to plain without them. Unless you have skirts. If you have no skirts leave them on. It looks better than a plain ol contour without them.
