that looks like f-n garbage.. even if I had a ford pinto I wouldnt use that.. it looks like they are charging 20 bucks for a small stupid piece of weather stripping that you could get at like Home Depot for 10 bucks for like 30 feet..
you can make this for cheaper.. HD sells magnetic stripping, get some of this weather stripping and stick the magnets to the back of the weather strip and viola.. instant door guard.

The poster above is absolutely right-- it's pipe insulation with sticky back magnet strip stuck to it.
It's not a bad idea, but other cars need it more than we do-- we're the ones with the massive doors.

Looks like those don't cover enough to protect you from all the jerks who don't care if they dent our tCs. I'll just stick to parking far away from everyone else, and continue taking up two parking spaces.

Couldn't I just remove the strip (since it's only held on by a magnetic strip) and ding away? 
It's only a matter of time before I see an older Honda Civic speeding down the street with those tubes stuck on it..."It's my cool 10 hp gained pin striping dawwwg".

Ummm.......this is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Actually you can leave them on when you drive and it will act as horizontal wind tunnel stabalizers. Add to that a GTR style wing and primer spots and DAAAYYYUUUMMMMMMM...........
