Line-x Rockers, Bumpers, Flares

im wanting to line-x them. i can get some OEM flares from an FX4 from a friend for $80 he said. and my aftermarket POS are chipping and aren't nearly as nice as OEM. im also wanting to get PTM bumpers. but am trying to decide, should i go with PTM white line-x or do the DSG 2-tone like fx4's. only draw back with doing white is mud stains, but i know some simple green would take all the dirt right off if stains did appear.

should i? shouldnt i? and why

also if anyone knows of an 06-08 bumper with fog holes for sale for a good price. let me know

Grey Line-X with some FX2 headlights would look awesome. I think the white textured Line-X would look a little off.

If you line X them I believe the facility may add something to the mix to prevent it from fading, the line x will fade over time, so make sure you mention that

My rockers have been sprayed. I went with another brand as the dealer here is a crook. My truck is white with black rockers. I like the look and it took care of the road rash along the bottom. It was that or paint it and put on mud flaps and I just didn't want mudflaps.

I would spray the rockers black or better yet dark grey to match your box rails and such. I like your chrome bumpers but I would PTM your front grill white and that would set it all off.

As long as you get LINE-X with Xtra (in any color), you're good to go.

i like the idea of the dark gray to match the bed rails.

the texture of the line-x would make a white look kinda weird, i think.

grille is eventually gonna be the white surround with black xlt honey comb grill. just haven't found one cheap on craiglist yet.

i like the white and think all white would look sweet, but if the white didn't match just perfect it would look goofy.

this is all probly getting put on hold now, my pioneer avic d3 decided today it doesn't wanna work any more and im just outta warranty on it.

i would powder coat your bumpers white and find a front one with fog lights

or if your set on line-x

i think matte black bumpers/rockers/fenders would look sweet

either way get a bumper with fog lights lol

thats definitely on the list. just having trouble tracking one of them down local as well. i emailed a guy about a 04-05 bumper but never heard back. the rectangle fogs look 10x better IMO. im pissed that POS pioneer broke on me, waste of alot of money, hopefully get it out, get it fixed and sell it and put that towards these mods. im not sure how matte black would look, i think the dark shadow bottom would look good, just need to figure out my plans.
