Door edge guards

Anyone have ideas about door edge guards that don't look like crap?

I park in the garage but every time I get out, I'm worried about nailing the wall and chipping the paint.

Hasn't happened yet.

Any thoughts?

the doors fit too tight...I had the thin black rubber ones on mine, it rubbed the quarter, looked good but had to take it off.
Ive got pallet racking where I park the 09, I put some pipe insulation over the legs where it could hit just in case...any kind of paddiing/bumper on the wall could prevent damage- I'm careful, but never know when one of the kids might do something stupid...

Thanks guys.

Didn't think about the body line.

I think the wall bumper thingy is a good idea.

I was going to recommend some foam on the walls too, as well as possible hanging some from the rafters (if between cars)

Or just get a piece of styrofoam insulation from Home Depot or Lowes and tack it on the wall. that way your door edge hits it and is protected. (Unless you park some where else!)

Found some clear edge guards by Cowles that work well.
