What to get?
 
So I ran into a few bucks to put into my truck (long story) and I have a few options on what I want to do. First thing is to get both the front and rear bumpers linex'd. Theres no question about that. Now I have to decide if I want to get the bed Linx'd, a tonneau cover (Truxedo Deuce 2) or get a programmer (Diablo InTune probably). Right now I'm leaning towards the programmer, I think I'll the most bang for my buck with that option. What would you guys do first?

If you're doing the bumpers, you might as well do the bed as well.

Bumpers plus the bed....

I'm getting my bed Line-X'd in the next 2 months. My rear bumper is starting to rust bad (painted FX4), and I myself was wondering how a Line-X'd bumper would look. How do you think it would look if I just did the rear bumper and not the front bumper or rocker panels? My truck is blue with the gray undertone. By just doing the rear bumper I was thinking "party in the front, and business in the back."

I've got to do something because I hate rust. If I just get it repainted I know that I'm going to be doing it again in a few years, and that is money down the drain because I live in Wisconsin. I also use it like a truck, so the durability of the Line-X appeals to me. Is the Line-X XTRA glossy? And can they match it to the paint on the truck?

To make a longer story short, I got rear ended by a drunk driver and it basically just scratched my bumper. The front bumper has some rust on it so I'll get both done. I also love in Wisconsin so I know what you mean. I think it might not look too bad with just the back bumper linx'd, there is enough going on on the front end to kind of mask the difference Imo. I believe the XTRA can be color matched but I'm not sure how glossy it is. I had the premium on my old truck.

So I was leaning towards the programmer but now I'm strongly considering an exhaust system. Either the Magnaflow 16520 or Borla 140137. Probably the Borla since its only about $80 more.
