Car moldings, also known as trim or molding strips, are decorative and functional elements that are attached to the exterior or interior of a vehicle. They serve both aesthetic and practical purposes, enhancing the appearance of the car while also providing protection against dings, scratches, and other minor damages. Here are some common types of used car moldings:
