I've had Line-X on two trucks and the fit and finish has always looked nice. Sometimes there is a little overspray between the box and cabin and below the tailgate but all-in-all Line X feels stronger and looks sharper. IMO. The only downfall I have seen is that over time, the line X will get a slight hazy white appearance. Don't know if it is sun fading or if it absorbs soap from washing the truck. I have seen the Rhino and was not impressed thick and chunky and very soft and pliable, doesn't seem like it would resist sharp edges.
TX-FX-4: There are several ways to keep LINE-X always looking brand new:
Good: Apply Just Once several times a year (www.justonce.com).
Better: Have the dealer apply Ultra Shield. US is a one time application. It keeps the liner from fading.
Even Better: Have the dealer apply Dupont Nason. It's more glossy than Ultra Shield, thus better looking.
Best: Have the dealer apply LINE-X Xtra. Xtra is a darker black, glossy, contains Kevlar Micro Pulp, applied like a topcoat but migrates into the bedliner, and is guaranteed not to fade.

Does anyone have any opinions on which one I should get. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
thanks.
I would say anything that is equivilent to a Rhino Liner would be the best and I agree with most of the other guys that you should throw a rubber mat over it for the best protection. But anything is better than a drop-in liner.
Best wishes and Cheers

They all serve their purpose.
I belive what VERNONBISHOP refers is that drop-in liners are black(as we all know) and are not completely on the metal but are hollow in some areas of the bed. The difference in humidity, the dampness that the sun creates when it strikes the black plastic and the water that accumulates within these hollow places have caused beds (In some states) to RUST OUT or weather prematurely. What I mean by SOME STATES is that humidity differs from one area to another as well as Salting of the roads due to snow. these cause wear on the undercarriage of a vehicle so a truck in dry Arizona may not create or harbor as much humidity as hot and humid Florida.And they just don't look as nice as a sprayed on system as well as don't allow ALL of the bed available. They're nice if you fill the bed with beer and Ice, the water will have nowhere to go. TAILGATE PARTY......
Bed Liner
I installed a Dualcomp in my F150 about 9 months ago and it's the best investment I've made yet. It does'nt look like other drop-in liners. Things DO NOT move on the mat and the sides fit so nice they look sprayed on but protect my wheel wells better.
There have been alot of advancements in platics and aftermarket parts for our trucks. I have not personally heard of the brand you speak of but if you are happy with it is all that matters. We all post good and bad and opinions as many of us learned from our mistakes. We can only present our information and it can be taken into consideration but does not have to be followed. That's what's great about this forum. Congrats. CHEALD1.

BINGO!!!
Line-x The Best
you get what you pay go for. the best line-x all the way. who cares about $50 difference. you go for the quality not how much you can save. line-x even looks beeter than all the rest.
