Default Thinking about lots of Line-X??

I'm seriously considering getting my front grille and fenders line-xd and then raptor lining the tub myself to save a little money. For the grille and tub I'm gonna stick with black. My main thoughts for the fenders are my trimmed fenders will look a little more quality if they had a nice thick even coat of line-x on them. As well I was considering getting the color match line x for the fenders, or just black?? Any thoughts and ideas will be appreciated!

You should do the grill your self. It was my first real mod, and I was pretty nervous that I'd screw it up, but it turned out great. I went ahead and added gutter guard behind the grill slots since I had it off, so it looks pretty sharp. I've been thinking about doing the tub as well, but that seems like a pretty big job, hard to find a whole weekend free to do it. Good luck!

I've already done the grille with plastic-dip, i have to touch up too much. Line-x quoted me 50 to do the grille and the paint myself would be around 20. Plus i think line-x looks far better than other bed liners IMHO. I like the gutter guard idea, i heard about that a while ago, i may do the same.

i had my front and rear river raider fenders color matched line x'ed. it was more expensive but the powdercoating was starting to flake off after about 9 months. so far the line x has held up great and the color match was perfect.

I suggest you have the tub done by a professional and make sure its uv protected. I did mine back in December and love it. Also I had my winch bumper done as well.

After looking around a little I think I'm gonna have it all done through line-x when I'm ready. Seems a little too easy to make mistakes on such a big area.

My hood, grille and tailgate are done with Line X. A few other Jeeps I have owned have always had Line X.
