I always park as far away from the crowd as humanly possible... but often find someone parked right up beside me when I return. Thankfully, no door dings yet.

It was either a redneck (lots of them at this Walmart) or a General Motors union thug who spotted my nice shiny new Japanese car, and decided to get even with me. |

I called them about checking their cameras. They laughed at me when they found out it was "just" a door ding. This is one of the worst Walmart's I've been to. A couple years ago, I nearly fell in the parking lot - when I got out of my other car I stepped in an oil slick and slid - someone had drained their oil and did an oil change in the parking lot. Not kidding.

Paint on any aftermarket molding will fade after several years and typically would make the car look worse than it would with a clean door but a small door ding. My plan is if i plan to keep my car for a very long time after 7 or 8 years after ive accumulated a few if any door dings just take it to a professional paintless dent removal place and have them pop them out.
Every car ive owned i usually remove the molding and pinstriping and front license plate. I think the car looks cleaner that way.

Mine already has 2 little dings (one on each side), and they are even different heights. I ordered some generic tapered molding (2 pieces) from J.C. Whitney which will arrive on Saturday. My car is black so they should look okay. Thing is, I am putting the molding in different spots from where the dings are (just above the top of the wheel well) on the doors. We'll see.

just carry a gun in the glove box....that fixes it all....or else one of those air release valves for tires...well maybe four of them right? j/k
it is a question of do you feel that function is over form or vica versa...
