    Ok-- New here (but lurking for some time). I have a Black 2013 Prerunner V-6. Going to put Nerf bars on it (both my wife and I are 69 and not as flexible as we once were!). I am looking at the Premium Custom Fit on Amazon for $167. Anyone familiar with these -- I am not sure if the brand is Premium or just a name given to a no name nerf. 8 reviews and all positive but not sure of longevity. (at 69 i guess longevity is not an issue!).

    As long as i am here any suggestions about paint. We have 3 dogs -- all big-- and when we get home after being gone for an hour they greet us with great enthusiasm! I try to stop the car and get the door open before they get there but alas I do not always succeed so there are small scratches by the door handle. Any suggestion (other than shooting the dogs) for fixing small scratches like that?

    Thanks and blessings on y'all
    Mike

    Stock for now...
    I ordered some vehicle touchup paint from a company online - it matched great on my Barcelona Red Metallic ..
    You could get some clear wrap applied to that section of the door - it's mostly invisible unless you get at the right angle , but the stuff isn't cheap .

    the dealer will sell paint touch up pens. up here they are about $13 a piece. paint on one end and clear coat on the other. should work pretty good for hiding the scratches or at least stop any surface rust.

    I thought 69 required a degree of flexibility. No?
