2009 Toyota Corolla S--Body Side Molding

[anselmo1]

I have noticed that all 2009 Toyota Corollas do not have body side moldings. I am picking up a new 2009 Toyota Corolla S this coming Friday. Ordered the silver with sunroof, ABS, and traction control.

How much do you think it would cost to install the Corolla body side moulding? I found that I can buy it online for $110.00. Could I install it myself or take it to a collison shop or even the Toyota dealership I purchased the car from?

On my 2009 Corolla S they where Toyota BSM moldings installed at my dealer which I work for. The mark up is a little high at the dealership if you buy them as a "package" but cost of (parts and labor) came to about $135 without sales tax. They look really sharp though!!! Let me know on the color of your Corolla and I can get the Toyota part number for your Toyota Corolla BSM's.

I put mine on myself with no problems it's just sticky tape.

Hmmmm... I didnt even realize that was an option. My car does not have the BSM... I think I like it better that way without it. Kinda looks cleaner I guess.

I'm sure you could stick it on yourself pretty easy and save yourself some money.

I bought mine online from a Toyota dealership online for $69.00 plus shipping with no sales tax. The dealership where I purchased the vehicle said they would install them for $60.00. I would do it myself but I had reconstructive wrist surgery and it hasn't healed to being 100%.

anselmo1, how did this turn out? Do you have any before/after pictures by chance? Just wondering how much these change the look of the car.
