Bought my Jeep on a Thursday night and put these on Friday morning, so no fade to deal with.

Here are mine and I also bedlined my bumper to color match the end caps. One other thing I have to say about VDP, here recently I hit a deer with the left front corner only thing that happened was it ripped one of the VDP end caps off. I contacted them and told them what had happened and wanted to know if I could just get one end cap. They ended up sending me a pair with pins, now that was unexpected and a stand up company.

Not a lot of bedliners are UV stable and require a clear coat if you want them to be fade resistant long term. I just did my bumper and rocker with Monstaliner and it looks AWESOME. Just have to remount it this weekend and take some pictures.

Took ten minutes to cut through the bumper, and 20 seconds to put the caps on.Click image for larger version

I have the VDP end caps and prefer the look to the metal end caps. The install is straightforward and pretty easy. I've done it three times now on different Jeeps.
