Generally installed at the corners of the doors and the front/rear bumpers. Here is some information about anti-collision strips: 1. There are three common types of anti-collision strips on the market: body anti-collision strips, door anti-collision strips, and rearview mirror anti-collision strips, all of which provide certain protection for the vehicle body. 2. Generally, installing anti-collision strips is not considered a vehicle modification. They do not affect the normal annual inspection of the vehicle. However, when purchasing anti-collision strips, it is advisable to choose ones that match the color of the vehicle body to maintain the overall harmony of the car.
As a car enthusiast, I've always thought that door edge guards are a clever little invention. They're typically installed on the outer edges of car doors, commonly below the sill or along the door waistline, as these areas are most prone to hitting walls or obstacles when opening the door. I prefer self-adhesive rubber materials and always clean the door surface with alcohol before installation to remove grease and ensure firm adhesion. In my neighborhood parking spots, where kids play or bicycles get too close, these guards effectively cushion impacts and protect the door paint from scratches. For color options, I favor black or transparent styles that blend seamlessly with the car's paint. It's important to regularly check if the guards are loose or worn out – replacing them every six months maintains optimal protection and prevents minor incidents from turning into costly repairs. This DIY approach not only saves money but also gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
