## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tailgate Protector with good looks.
*by D***R on February 23, 2020*

This tailgate protector fit perfectly on my Chevy Z71 crew cab pickup. It will save damages to the factory plastic trim piece that come on the truck. Plus this is made out of aluminum, tougher than the factory plastic trim, that can take the use and abuse.

### ⭐ The picture is deceiving
*by J***I on June 8, 2022*

The protector did not wrap around the tailgate as shown

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit
*by L***W on July 29, 2016*

Love it looks great, fit perfect
