The vertical door guards along the edge of the door (as well as the edge of the wheel well) were on the CT when we got it. Also, pinstripes were on the car. I believe these were part of a package dealers sometimes add to cars (probably also included full rubber floormat for rear area and mud flaps etc. that were removed by my dealer.....the car was brought to my dealership from an affiliated dealership).
A lot of dealers around me add these inexpensive items then add what I call a side sticker to the window jacking up the price of the car (usually around $1,000). This is just another way of ripping off the customer. I always tell the dealer "I don't want any of that stuff".
Since my car is white and the edging is white, it looks fine.
