I have been parking in commuter lots since I began working in New York City. The good thing about commuter lots is that the parking is free, but the spaces are narrow and parking is limited. After my junky car broke down, I purchased a new car for reliability. Little did I know that my commuter lot was the main cause of my car door dings and dents. My junky car had so many car door dings and dents that it was impossible to tell when a new ding appeared. I read the blog articles on this site about car door protection, and then looked at the various car door protectors available in stores and online. Although my car has factory car door guards installed, I have noticed that the door guards are positioned to low to offer any real car door protection. As someone else mentioned above, I tried removable magnetic car door guards and did not like the exposed magnets. Consequently, I decided to purchase the door shox after seeing the product in the commuter lot. Thus far, I Have been using the door shox standard kit for 2 weeks and find it meets my needs perfectly. Now I can ding other people’s doors while mine are safe (LOL).
