Car Styling Moulding Strips

Finding the Right Styling Moulding Strips for your Car: Buying Guide

Having your car looking good requires regular maintenance and sometimes it needs some repairs. When it comes to getting styling moulding strips for your car, there is a wide selection on eBay to choose from. Before you start your search, you should consider this information that can help you find the right ones for your car.

To find the right exterior car moulding strips, you should consider these factors:

• Car information: You will want to know the make, model, and model year of your car. You can get this information from the car’s registration or by looking up the car’s vehicle identification number for car-specific information. For some parts of the moulding, the trim will be specific if you’re only replacing a portion.
• Brand: If you’re looking for OEM trims, you will want to find ones manufactured by the same company as your car. There are also aftermarket options available as well that are OEM style, generic, and custom depending on your preferences.
• Colour: If you’re only replacing a portion of the trim, you’ll want to find a colour that closely matches your existing colours. If you’re replacing all the trim, you can choose your style, but you will want to make sure all the parts match.
• Placement: To help narrow down your search, you can filter out placements of the trim to front, rear, left, and right sides of the car to help make sure you’re getting the right pieces.
• Condition: For some older cars, you have the option of aftermarket and used trims depending on if the car has been discontinued. In some cases, there will also be remanufactured trim pieces as well. For newer vehicles, you can get new OEM components as well.

Here are some of the trim options available:

• Weather stripping: These will generally come in rubber strips and may come in a set. These will fit inside the doors.
• Bumper protectors: These moulding strips are made of a plastic or other material and extend out from your doors to help protect them from minor bumps.

OEM trim pieces will be the most expensive of the options. OEM components are designed to fit the exact factory specifications and shouldn’t require any modification to fit. Aftermarket trim pieces will sometimes come in a more generic style that can be cut down to fit your specific car and will be a cheaper option.
