duke: if you want the full pdf of glass removal including the gloss pilliar removal give me your email addy
asinatra you are a huge tease. Those look really good, there is no way he did those with spray cans, must have used a spray gun.

I'll email you through f150online.com with me email address.

Thanks,

Duke

For some reason, having your black accents sprayed with line-x sounds like a bad idea/waste of money. What are you trying to protect with the line-x? I think that you will wish that you had never done this after it is done. I can not imagine this helping re-sale value, only hurting it, unless you find that other 1 in 100 person that would like the same thing done.

I am not trying to sound too negative, but I hope that you do re-think this mod.

I echo his opinion. I just don't see the practical purpose it would server, or how it would make your truck look better.

Sorry, Just my opinion.

to each his own but i agree and it will probably look really bad after a couple of months in the sun when it starts fading to the chalky black color.

Yup, don't do it. Go think out another mod then come back and we will let you know if it's ok for you to do it.

Hey F150 Duke,

I searched for and found this thread after our telephone conversation last week. So where are the new pics??

BTW, I got the tonneau cover installed last week. I went with the Snug Top SL lid. I'll take some pics and post them on the boards soon.

-Chris
