    Agreed. Make the dealer fix it. Let them know you are not from the ghetto and establish with them early on that you want nothing short of the best service.

    this is why i always open the door for people getting in and out of my truck, because to them its not their truck and the could care less. i did almost kill my best friends ex gf when she put two holes in the back of my passenger seat on my 2010 Tacoma. needless to say she is an ex of his now after i almost killed her and he took my side. dumb @#$%!!!!

    Scratches are in the top one, I promise. :)

    No scratches in the bottom one... because Meguiars worked. ;)

    WTF?! How the heck did she put two holes in the back of your passenger seat? Did she tried to shag in the back with high heels on?

    You can find them all over the place, however the quality is different from each place. I went to this because its a LIFETIME guarantee and if it ever comes off or wears off they will replace it for free. Scratchtek is the company.

    Not sure about the door handles, I only did the cup behind the door handles cause thats where they get scratched up the most. I'm sure you can buy sheets of the material and custom cut it yourself to protect the door handles.

    So looks like its sort of a toss up with the POLL. Seems like more people don't like the scratches.

    my friend and i were just hanging out and his stupid underaged ex was hammered and i told her not to smoke or puke in my truck but of course dumb ass she was didn't listen and lit up a cig in my brand new truck wasn't even a month old and i went over a speed bump and her being hammered and not able to hold still just smashed her face in my back sit putting two holes in my seat and burning her face. i slammed on my brakes and told her to walk home...... but being a polite gentlemen i drove her home. she never stepped foot in my truck again and was even afraid to get near it for a while. i guess in her incoherant drunken mess she remembered how i angry i was.

    I just spent 4 hours removing scratches and waxing my truck last weekend. The stupid woman that owned it before was rather careless.
