Elevate Your Subaru Style with Body Side Moldings at Capitol Subaru

June 15th, 2025

Subaru vehicles are built to thrive in adventure, and that includes looking good while doing it. Whether you're navigating winding backroads or busy city streets, protecting your Subaru bodywork is a smart investment in both appearance and long-term value. That's why many Subaru drivers turn to genuine body side moldings-a subtle yet impactful addition that offers both style enhancement and physical protection. These molded accessories are carefully engineered to blend into your vehicle's design while providing a buffer zone between your car and everyday hazards. Think of those narrow parking spots, flying shopping carts, or unpredictable door swings from neighboring vehicles-body side moldings can help minimize dings, scratches, and scuffs that would otherwise harm your vehicle's paint or panels. At Capitol Subaru in Salem, Oregon, we carry a full selection of genuine Subaru body side moldings tailored to fit your exact model. Not only do they add a touch of refinement and custom flair to your vehicle, but they also contribute to maintaining its resale value by keeping the body in great shape. Whether you drive a rugged Outback or a sleek Legacy, body side moldings are a smart, stylish addition for any Subaru owner looking to protect what they love.

Why Choose Genuine Subaru Side Moldings?

Unlike generic aftermarket parts, OEM Subaru side moldings are manufactured specifically for your vehicle. They're crafted from durable materials-often high-grade ABS plastic or reinforced polymers-that are designed to withstand the elements and hold up over time. Every molding kit is precision-fit to complement the existing lines and color of your vehicle, meaning no awkward gaps or mismatched finishes. More importantly, they serve a practical function: acting as the first line of defense for your doors and side panels. These moldings are not just about appearance-they offer real-world protection from incidental contact, like neighboring car doors or kids riding bikes too close. While they won't guard against major collisions, they can save you hundreds in paint and dent repairs from those smaller, frequent threats. At Capitol Subaru, our team can help you select the right molding kit for your model and even recommend styles that complement your color palette and trim level.

Professional Installation at Capitol Subaru in Salem

Although side moldings can be installed at home, proper application requires a clean surface, steady alignment, and a bit of patience-especially if you want a factory-quality look. That's where our factory-trained technicians come in. At Capitol Subaru, we offer fast, professional installation that ensures your new moldings are applied with precision and care. Every installation starts with a thorough cleaning of the application area to remove any dust or residue. Once the surface is prepped, the moldings are securely affixed, lining up perfectly with the body to ensure lasting performance and a clean, professional finish. If we don't have your specific moldings in stock, no problem-we'll place an order and contact you as soon as they arrive, saving you time and hassle.
