I like the looks of them myself.

As the OP asked for opinions, here's my .02 for whatever they're worth: No. The truck looks cleaner without them.

That being said, if you want to add them for whatever peace of mind they may add, go for it. At the end of the day, its your truck and you're going to do whatever you want to it despite what we think.

Great response!

I got color matching for my sonic grey and it looks awesome. Very discrete.

Pics if you have them - I'm still on the fence so to speak.

Have an 06 RTL purchased in July 05 and chose not to put on the side moulding because I didn't like how it looks. Plus, the moulding can be marred and scratched also. Maybe I've been lucky but no door dings so far. Lots of minot scratches, but that is from mesquite trees. When I cared, if I got one, would just have a pointless dent repair place remove it.

I'm getting a new White Black Edition truck next week. I wanted to know your guys opinion on the body side moulding. Going to be ordering some other stuff for it soon also.

1. Leave it alone for the nice clean look, and maybe get some door dings.
2. Get the Honda White body side moulding, not sure yet if I like the look.
3. Get the Black Honda body side moulding, maybe adds contrast with all the other blacked out parts?

I'm trading in my Black 2017 RTL-T and I put the black body side moulding on it and really seems to blend with the color of the truck. I've seen a pic of a White truck with the white body side moulding and it seems to stick out like a sore thumb to me.

Any thoughts?

I bought them on my 2019 Ridgeline and had the dealer install them. They really protect the doors. I just bought a 2022 Ridgeline and got the side moldings, but this time, I installed them myself. Saved $$$. You can go online and get them much cheaper than the dealer unless your dealer will match the price, which most do. Then, watch a YouTube video on how to install them. Easy Peasy.

I have a 2019 RTL in white with white BSM. I have ordered a Black Edition in white. Had to go outside and look to verify I had BSM on old truck before I ordered for new truck. So, my answer is I hardly notice the white BSM or white door edge guards. Good luck

 

[F6Hawk]

Now I’m curious. I’m going to look at where typical shopping carts come up to the side panels to see if the BSMs provide any protection against marauding trolleys. I got them to protect against door dings - the BSMs on my 2015 CR-V were very similar, and the dings they took were proof they were doing their job.

When I found my truck with a cart against the rear door recently, it was more than halfway up the door, and the BSM wouldn't have touched the cart. Thankfully, the cart still had the rubber cushions on its corners, and THAT was what was against my paint, not the metal itself.

I have a 2021 white BE with HPD package,and I put the white (Walmart guards)😂on mine. I was also thinking of doing black but glad I chose the white.

 

[gjs1424]

I have to park in a retail parking lot for my place of work. I have a 2004 Accord with the body side moulding, and the car does not have any door dings. I also have a 2011 CRV without the body moulding, and it has a couple nasty dings. So I think they work. I put them on my 2021 BE Ridgeline to protect the doors and give it some character.

I picked up my white BE on Saturday and added side moldings on it. #2 . I really like the look.

 

[N. J. Jim]

I looked at the door moldings but decided not to get them.As Bluegrass stated the location on the door is so low I don't see how there going to help that much. I had a Subaru Outback and they kind of fit with that car and I believe at the location they were they did help some!

 

[DriveAllNight]

I'm not a fan of the way they look, but that's just me, to each their own I say.

With that said, nothing is going to make your truck invulnerable, some things help more than others, I'm not so sure these will help in most situations, and as stated above there are lots of jackasses driving around who don't give a rat's backside if they damage other people's property.

But if you like them, buy them in any color you like, it's your ride, only you have to like it.

Okay! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! My turn to waste everyone’s time in a should you or shouldn’t you moment. Never once have I said to myself I wish I had those BSMs on my truck. Because if I did I definitely would park in that spot!

Whatever vehicle I’ve owned, if they had them I did NOT take them off. If they never had any side molding I did NOT put them on.

I just checked my RL and noticed I do not have the BSMs. I obviously prefer the look w/o them! LOL.

Now it’s time to write a post about emblems. Something that really matters! Why? Because it’s cold and raining outside and I need to stop the gray clouds from taking over my life. Plus, we all know vehicles w/o emblems are all the rage right now!

Enjoy what’s left of your day,
Gusto!

I am fully debadged

 

[HeavyDuty]

I am fully debadged

Fully? I’m getting there… I’m thinking I’ll leave only the front and rear H-marks. And those horrible BSMs, of course.

Fully to me is leaving the front (which is built in to the radar sensor) and the rear which would leave holes in the tailgate. Oh...and, of course, those horrible BSMs

 

[MaineMan]

Wait! Wait Wait! Don’t tell me. Did I derail this thread?

My plans to change the color of or remove the Black Edition badge may have gone sour - it sure looks like the plate with the letters can be removed, but it will leave a mounting pad that is molded into the grille. I’ll keep looking at it.

Great! I’ll let you do the heavy lifting to figure this out. When you do please post an tag me….. yes, I’m tat lazy. But I’d definitely remove that fugly looking chrome badge if you find a solution.

Hey, it's not just the rage now, it was also the rage back in the 90's for those in the know . Even back then BMW had a 'de-badge' option, which I imagine they charged extra for .
