Do you have the link for the non-chrome ones? My D is Mineral Grey Metallic, so I'm not sure if it'll match the sparkly-ness of that paint? For $161, I might just order them up.

I really like the look of the doors as they are now, but can't stomach ding after ding. I think those pics from 12HemiR/T look pretty nice.

Thanks guys!

I just searched Sportwing's site http://www.sportwing.com/dodge-duran...e-molding.aspx for Mineral Gray Metallic. The picture below shows the paint code that came up. If it matches your code on the door jam, then these are the ones you want. Note there are no photos. You can look at the Chromeline Painted body side moldings on the left side for photos of the same molding with the chrome accent. Frankly, you can't tell much from the photos. My plain ones are a perfect color match. Like others say, they just seem to disappear. Of course they are not on yet because I have to have a ding repaired first so the molding on the pass side front door will seal properly.

I am with ya' brotha' on the dings. I would suggest calling Sportwing / Dawn Enterprises with any questions. They have great customer service. I placed my order over the phone and picked them up at their location in the Cleveland area.
