Chris...whoever did that chose a clean line...I think it looks good having it wrapped around the tailgate.

Hey Chris, who did that for you? Line-X of San Antonio? I didn't think there was a Line-X dealer in Corpus so I went to Line-X of San Antonio and, judging by how awesome the line and evenness of the spray looks on yours it looks like they might have done yours as well. I couldn't be happier with the Line-X in the bed of my truck; I will DEFINATELY be taking the truck back to them when I have my rockers and bumpers done later on down the road. Your truck looks great, man.

I had the bed and the rockers done over a year ago at a place in Corpus Christi called C and S plating. It's not Line-X, this place uses Extreme bedliner spray. From what I can tell and have heard, Extreme is pretty much the same as Line-X. It's been over a year since I had it done, so his prices may have changed by now. He charged $375 for the bed and over the rail, and I think $475 for the rockers. The Rhino liner place wanted almost $700 to do the rockers, Attachment 19640

Attachment 19642and I never liked Rhino liners anyway.

+1, especially for what appears to be quality work.

Hey Chris, how did it hold up last summer? Does the spray get kinda tacky in the heat or does it stay solid? Any scratches through the liner in the bed from loading things? What about a warranty from the guys that did it? Any color fading from the south Texas sunshine? Basically, what are your impressions regarding how tough the liner is and how well it is holding up thus far?

Oh, BTW. Fellow Marine here also. Thanks for your service.

ebay...

it doesn't have the dodge logo on it but whatever.

also, some of the grills are painted (primed) and some aren't.

no one (sellers) will understand that question...you have to look at the picture real good and hope you get it right!

also...my tip of the day to you...order one with the honeycomb webbing already on the grille.

mine was just the grille, not the inserts. 22 plastic rivets hold both inserts in...you have to destroy the rivets to get the grille out...new rivets aren't cheap...the dealer can su*k a fat one a 4 bucks a pop.

I rigged mine in their with some other random tabs from the hardware store but would have rather avoided the whole experience.

Thanks, that was good info! I have been burned by ebay so I try to avoid it, but the grill is worth blacking out!

no worries.

I fogot to mention, personal preference, but I recommend going for the unpainted/unprimed grille.

along those lines, some call it black, other companies call it dark grey....

picking up the truck from the body shop on saturday, will try and post pics within a month.......it's an honest answer, right?
