Smile New 2015 XLT - help accessorize

I just picked up my new 2015 (Supercab, XLT, FX4), and am now in the market to "accessorize". I'm interested in getting the bed spayed, a Tourneau top, mud flaps, bug shield and that's about it.

Suggestions on the bed liner? It seems that Line-X has a pretty strong following - but are there others out there just as good?

My late and lamented 2004 had the Truxedo soft cover, so I'm interested in getting that once again - are they easy to self install?

I'm also interested for opinions around rear wheel well inserts - do they help with corrosion?

Thanks!

Line-X is hard, rough and durable. RhinoLiner is softer, rubbery, and easier on the knuckles/kneecaps if you scrape em.

Tonneau covers are really a personal preference. I would recommend shopping at the truck parts stores in your area, see which features you like and dislike, then ask us specifically about those features with more detail.

Bug guards.... are bug guards. I have seen zero differences in the manufacturing quality of them. HOWEVER... different brands have different mounting. I prefer the ones with plastic generic push pins, cuz if you ever break em they can easily be replaced. Also, anywhere they contact your paint, put a few layers of clear packaging tape to protect the paint.

Mudflaps, I just posted pics of my Weather Techs, cuz I hate em. Go look one group up in Appearance Products. I'm hoping someone can show us pics of Husky Liners mudflaps to compare.

Rear wheel well inserts, I went back to the dealer and got em, and my sales guy made em install them free of charge. They fit and look perfect.

Expensive yet Line X is worth in the long run. For the cover, consider a hard folding cover since it is more heavy-duty than soft tonneaus.
