    Yeah my brother introduced me to the derp and i was HIGHLY skeptical of its worthiness. After much debate he convinced me to just try it on my door handle (chrome..i hate chrome). Im constantly driving through brush and small trees, tree limbs and such and after almost a couple years it had still not scratched or anything. I was much suprised and had to tell little bro he was right! I then proceeded to do the grille, the chrome outter portion(98-00 style) other door handle, gas tank door and finally the badges. I was again suprised at its performance when doing the badges. It was so easy to perfectly pull away the over spray. It was like magic, lol! So now when i tell people about it i get the same shit i gave my brother, like "yeah right it cant do that" or "theres no way its that good" "im not puttin that shit on my rig" yada yada yada...

    Overall though so far ive been pretty impressed with it, especially for the emblems! Thats where that shit shines in my opinion. I still expect to se a big gouge or scratch in it one of these days but havent..
