And all pretty cheap. I tried a set and one of them was already bent coming out of the box.

I believe it is a rod or similar item that holds the car door open, typically used at car shows and cruise-ins.

Once installed, they're great for knocking down rows of traffic cones!

I had the aluminum so I just made a set for myself.I don't know if I'll use them very much.I attend more cars-n-coffees than shows, and I thought about car shows I attended years ago in upstate N.Y..Most judged shows included judging your interior. So lots of attendees used door props to keep their doors propped open so judges can give it a rating..I would set up my C4 and just go check out other cars at the show..Most of the car shows I've attended here in SW Florida mostly skip interiors..
