Default Rivet-on Rub Strips / Dealer installed door moulding.

Does anyone have a source for the "high profile" vinyl inserts, in Jaguar colors?
The very very very Bright White I purchased looks terrible on my Cream colored car?
​​​​​​​Black, White and Silver - where the only colors I could find offered online.

No. But can you provide a link to the source you found for the black, white and silver? I need to do this and would use black.

This is the supplier I used. They have only the 3 colors in the "high profile" trim.

Never tried it. But if the soft strip is vinyl, it might accept vinyl upholstery dye.
Black quite popular...

I realize that they do savew the door paint from careless parkwers yet, they sure mness up the flanks of a sleek car.

I had never seen the vinyl in any other color other than black.

I'm surprised they have two other useless colors.

try J.C. Whitney, they used to carry different rubber molding extrusions in different colors.

You might consider painting what you have to match your Jag. I would think a pint mixed to your paint code at an automotive paint store would match pretty well on just a molding. Automotive paint stores can set you up with all you will need to paint plastic. A fifteen dollar HF gun is pretty good for a few uses.

Alternately, there is a molding store here in Phoenix that has been in business for quite a while and there is a chance he would have a better match for your Jag.

To CadJag's comment about spoiling the sleek looks of the fJag with the rivet on molding- I had a XJS a few years ago that had the riveted style molding and I removed it and put on a flat ribbon style rubber molding and painted it to match the car. It really changed the look of the car and made it 'sleek' again. The rubber ends could be shaped with sandpaper for a finished end. If you are interested I've got a few photos of it I can post.
