Review shared from Putco Stainless Steel Boss Tailgate Guard; Direct Replacement (07-13 Silverado 1500)
2012 - JakeAlsum
Wrong product
Ordered one for my 2012 Chevy Silverado. The correct part number was on the box, but the part was obviously not for my truck. It has been over 2 weeks since and the problem is not yet resolved. This could be a rare packaging error, but my experience was very poor. The product I got was good quality, just not the right one. Seemed like a "right box, wrong part" kinda deal.

Tailgate trim accent
Nice product very shiny simple installation with the prepping, cleaning pad and primer that's included in the box. Pre applied 3m tape very sticky so be sure you have it exactly where you want it before applying!

2012 GMC sierra stainless steel fender trim
I have a plain Jane 2012 GMC sierra company truck. Adding the stainless steel fender trim jazzed it up. It looks like it should’ve come from the factory this way. Very happy with the outcome!

2022 AT4 - Poonsakk.
Fits okay.
Fits only okay. Has about a 1/2 inch gap when installed. On other sites it has the rhino rack cross bars to install, but cannot seem to find the right hardware to fit in the t-slot.

Very nice addition to dull area of the truck. Easy to install used a little painters tape to help align installing them.

2017 SLT - TheMedic
Good quality, but...
The quality of the pillar posts are great. However, they do not fully cover the entire post like you would want. Contacted customer support for a return. (customer service here is great an i will still be a customer!)
