New Plans but need opinions

LED Tail lights:

Does anyone have pics of the new recon lights on there truck? My truck is burgandy and was thinking of going with the smoked red, or maybe just red. I know I like the Hella LED Tails, but I think the smoked red would look cool.

Also, will installing LED tails and 3rd brake light mess with my cruise control?

Bed Liner:

Is the line-x xtra worth the extra money, or are spray in about all the same now days

Door Handles:

PTM the burgandy, Tan to match the bushwakers and bottom, or glossy black to match the things inbetween windows


Bed Cover:

Retractable, Flip, or Hardtop PTM. I want something as water proof as possible, and to look good.

Thanks in advanced for your opinions, and as always pictures are greatly appreciated of your opinions.

Smoked Harley tails will look best IMHO.

Yes Line-X Extra is worth the money, no one else comes close to line-x quality IMHO.

PTM Burgandy handles FTW

I like the back flip cover, not sure that you could PTM that one.

Sounds like you have some great ideas, throw up some pics when you get it together.

I waited on the recon tails for over a year and was severely let down by them. In person they are complete crap. They have a black ring around the tail light, only 2 rows of leds, and the circle reflectors are a huge screw up. Plus the guy that had them said he was already having trouble with water and the plastic breaking. get the hella's and smoke um. i finally caved and bought the hella's

I believe line-x is the best out right now, i have permatech with no complaints other than it lost some color over the past 4 years.

PTM the handles to the body color, painting them to match your tan would look very out of place.

If you want a bed cover that keeps the most water out and looks good then you need to look at hard covers.

LED Tail lights:

I haven't heard anything good about the recon tails. I do however own the Hellas, and will recommend them to anyone.

Bed Liner:

I don't have a spray in bed liner, but I have heard many people recommend the xtra.

Door Handles:

Post a pic of your truck, its hard to say when you suggest three different colors. haha.

Bed Cover:

Retractable! That's what I plan to get when I finally get around to it.

Okay, so i decided that PTM door handles, and linex xtra will be what I am getting. And also getting the Hella tail lights. I may smoke them later, but will probably do a photoshop first.

Hardtop is as water proof as you can get.

Are there any retractable covers that are water resistant? I kinds like the rollbak or bakflip style. Are they okay? I like the sleek look
