Ok after watching a few you tube videos and calling the guy at Line-X I've decided to go with it. Truck is going in on 2/28. Does $495 for the bed sound right?

Which Line-x are you going to?

I've got an appointment on the 25th to get my rear wheel wells done. Going with the premium, heard it's a lot easier to keep clean since it's a slicker finish

Finally, I picked up my loaded Black Screw yesterday. It's all of what I've been waiting 4 1/2 months for but, that doesn't mean it's perfect. Did anyone else notice the light shining through the edges of the moonroof when the solid panel is closed? It was making me crazy so I performed the first of many mods to come. The easy fix was to add a pc of 1/4" foam weather stripping along the front edge, 5 minute job that solved that problem no more light.
Mod #2 was to replace the long antenna with a 14" stubby.
#3 I added a new ball hitch to protect the rear from old ladies parallel parking behind me.
#4 I painted the exhaust tips with high heat black paint.
#5 windows being tinted on friday.
#6 New XD series black rims next week.
#7 Rhino lining spray in bedliner 2 weeks.
#8 Pace Edwards bedlocker retractable bed cover 2 weeks.
and then I'll think about a tune.
Chaching $$$$ here we go again but I love it!!!!
Here it is with a photo of the black tips. 20 minutes and they look much better then the stock unfinished tips.

Looks great! BTW...my sunfoof liner doesn't allow light to bypass the solid panel. I couldn't unscrew my antenna tho to install a stubby. I have the drop in bed liner, but am getting a Line-X spray in next week. Windows tinted today. I ordered the Ford Racing chrome slip-on tips for my exhaust. Thought I'd add a bit of chrome down low to offset all the black. And I thought my boat and motorcycle were money pits....

My Sunroof Shade DOES let the light through in the front. Were you able to find a black weatherstripping to put on the front of the sunroof?

I assume you're referring to that 1/2 lip that's on the front of the sunroof when it's open. (Not referring to the part that pops up when it opens)
