I was asking. Thanks for the pics. I can hardly see them. Did you install them yourself or did Acura do it? If you did it are they from Acura or someplace else.
Any Info would be great and thanks.

I did it myself. It shouldn't take more than 10 min. I got them from
http://www.handa-accessories.com/
Some might think that they "ruin" the flow of the shape of the car, etc. I got them because I park next to wall at work and I already damaged the paint finish. I got them for a practical reason.
Good luck.

Do you know if they will work if you have body side moldinsg?
I've already scraped a tiny bit of paint (which I later touched up) because I hit my watch against the door edge as I was trying to close the door... that trim would have helped!

I heard something about installing BSM first, then DEG. I think RonA said that. I guess it all depends on how much space you have between the BSM and DEG! DEG alone only takes up about 1/4 inch.

You will need 5/8" from the edge of the door to install the door edge guards. Also, be sure the rear BSM are not too far forward, or they will rub on the DEG when you open the rear door.
This is all from experience. I had the BSM installed when I got the car. Then, the Acura service rep said he would replace the front BSM so I could have the DEG installed, because of all the problems I was having with my EL-42's.
Then, as soon as it got warm, the rear door BSM hit the DEG, because they put them too far forward, so they replaced them. This was all done at no charge to me, thankfully.
