I I've had my truck since October, it has a little over 1,600 miles on it, and I just got my first scratch. Not on the exterior, but, the interior...the passenger armrest to be exact. I'm not playing the blame game on this one but I don't ever open up the passenger door from the inside(I do open it for my girlfriend). So my question to you guys is...what color do I need to order. I see a few options on Tasca parts, so a point in the right direction would definitely be appreciated.

I have had to replace that exact same trim on the driver's side front door. Every time my wife drives the truck her damn ring scratches that piece of trim.

Fortunately the part is reasonably inexpensive and easily replaceable.

Just leave it, it's only going to get more scratched up. Let them get scratched really bad and then replace them. Paint is just going to look worse than the scratches themselves.

It's part number 6 on the list. I just hate to order the wrong colored part. My truck is a 2015 XLT with the sport package.

Hmm.. Sounds like you should've bought a luxury car. Cause if you're worried about that scratch, you'll never do anything that requires a truck.

Try waxing it or polishing it out. Probably wont even see it after that.
