Body Moldings & Trims

Body Moldings Trims

Upgrade protection and add a clean, factory-fresh look with exterior body moldings and trims engineered for real-world driving. From self-adhesive body side molding that guards against parking lot door dings to OE-style tailgate caps that shield your truck bed, this collection brings together durable materials, precise fitment, and easy installation for cars, SUVs, and trucks.

Why Choose Self-Adhesive Body Side Molding and Exterior Trims

Modern roads are hard on paint. Self-adhesive body side molding creates a protective buffer along doors and quarter panels, absorbing the little hits that cause chips, scuffs, and dents. Exterior trims also help cover existing blemishes and sharpen the vehicle’s lines for a finished, like-new appearance—without the cost or downtime of body shop work.

Our range emphasizes quick, drill-free installs. Most pieces come with pre-applied automotive-grade adhesive tape for a secure, weather-ready bond. That means no special tools, minimal prep, and a transformation you can complete in your driveway. The result is practical protection with a clean, OE-inspired finish.

Materials, Finishes, and Fitment You Can Trust

These moldings are crafted from proven exterior-grade materials selected for impact resistance and longevity. Flexible PVC and polyurethane options conform smoothly to contours and absorb light impacts; ABS plastic components offer a solid, OE-style profile with crisp edges; metal trims—often 304 stainless steel or aluminum—deliver a premium, corrosion-resistant sheen. UV-stabilized finishes help resist fading and yellowing in sun-exposed climates, while scratch-resistant surfaces maintain their gloss or matte texture under routine washing.

Color and finish options typically include matte or gloss black, polished metal, chrome-look, and carbon-fiber style. Whether you want subtle protection or a high-contrast accent, you can match the look to your build. Vehicle-specific selections are pre-cut for exact fitment, and universal options are trimmable to length for custom applications.

Example: our OE-style tailgate protection includes applications such as a black tailgate cap cover for 2006–2008 RAM 1500 and 2006–2009 RAM 2500/3500. Designed to the shape of the factory tailgate, it shields the top edge from cargo scrapes and everyday wear, installs with pre-applied adhesive, and blends seamlessly with the truck’s body lines.

What You’ll Find in This Collection

Body Side Molding (Self-Adhesive Body Side Molding)

Door and quarter-panel moldings run along the beltline to intercept door dings before they reach your paint. Choose from low-profile strips for a subtle OE look or bolder profiles for extra protection. Most include peel-and-stick adhesive for fast installs and are available in multiple widths and finishes.

Door Edge Guards

Protect the most vulnerable edges from chips caused by tight parking spots and garage walls. Flexible, wrap-over designs clamp or adhere to the door lip, forming a slim, nearly invisible shield that won’t interfere with seals or closing.

Wheel Arch Fender Trim

Accentuate wheel openings while guarding against road debris. Options range from polished metal and chrome-look surrounds to black, impact-resistant trim that complements off-road builds and daily drivers alike.

Rocker Panel Sill Protection

Rocker moldings help prevent sandblasting and scuffs along lower doors and sills, especially in wet or winter climates. Many are model-specific and contour to the body for a factory-grade fit.

Pillar Posts Window Trim

Refresh faded pillars and window surrounds with high-adhesion overlays in gloss black, matte black, or metal finishes. These pieces instantly update the cabin’s visual frame from the outside.

Tailgate Caps Bed Rail Moldings

Truck owners can protect high-contact surfaces with OE-style caps that guard against cargo impact and sliding gear. Pre-cut applications, including the example fitment for mid-2000s RAM pickups, deliver an exact fit with a clean, factory look.

Installation and Care Tips

For the best bond, wash and dry the area thoroughly, then wipe with an isopropyl-based surface prep. Dry-fit each piece to confirm alignment. In temperatures above 60°F, peel the backing, align carefully, and press firmly from one end to the other. Apply even pressure along the length to activate the adhesive. Avoid washing or heavy rain for 24 hours to allow full curing.

Maintenance is simple: hand wash with pH-neutral soap and a soft mitt. Avoid harsh abrasives and solvent polishes on plastic or PVC surfaces. If removal is ever needed, warm the piece gently to soften the adhesive, lift slowly with a plastic trim tool, and clean residue with an adhesive remover safe for automotive paint.

How to Choose the Right Size and Style

• Measure the install area: For body side molding, note the beltline length and choose a width that matches your vehicle’s proportions.
• Pick your finish: Gloss or chrome-look for contrast; matte or satin black for a factory, stealthy appearance.
• Select fitment: Vehicle-specific parts offer the quickest, most precise result; universal strips offer flexibility for custom layouts.
• Match your use case: Daily commuters benefit from low-profile protection; work trucks and SUVs may prefer thicker profiles and bed/tailgate protection.

FAQ: Body Moldings Trims

What exactly are vehicle trims and moldings?

Exterior trims and moldings are protective and decorative pieces installed on the body, such as along doors, fenders, pillars, and truck beds. They help prevent scratches and minor dents while completing the vehicle’s exterior lines with a clean, finished look.

How does self-adhesive body side molding work?

These strips use high-strength automotive adhesive to bond directly to clean, painted surfaces. Once aligned and pressed into place, they create a durable buffer that absorbs small impacts and keeps contact points away from your paint.

Will adhesive moldings hold up in rain, heat, and car washes?

Yes—when installed on a properly prepped surface and allowed to cure, the adhesive is engineered for outdoor exposure. UV-stable materials and weather-resistant adhesives help the pieces withstand heat cycles, rain, and routine hand washing.

Can I install these parts myself?

Most items are DIY-friendly and require only basic cleaning supplies and careful measuring. Expect 20–60 minutes for typical body-side or pillar installations, and slightly longer for multi-piece kits.

Can the moldings be painted or color-matched?

Many ABS and PVC parts can be painted by a qualified refinisher using proper adhesion promoters and flexible coatings. If you prefer a quicker solution, choose a finish—like matte black or chrome-look—that complements your vehicle out of the box.

Do you offer vehicle-specific pieces, like truck tailgate caps?

Yes. Alongside universal trim, this collection includes application-specific parts—such as a black OE-style tailgate cap cover for 2006–2008 RAM 1500 and 2006–2009 RAM 2500/3500—that are pre-cut to match factory contours for a seamless fit.
