I bought my moldings from an ebay seller for $186.87, they look ok, not really noticeable and they saved me from many dings over time.
These are sold as for a model S but they fit ok on the X and they didn't interfere with the door sensors, at least based on where i positioned them.
However as others said, there is no absolute protection.
