i guarantee its not the same stuff you got off ebay. its someone telling you its rhino and its not. you donnt roll or brush rhino on. plus its over 1/4 of inch thick. not 1/16.

Jeez, $1600?? There are a lot of body shops now doing "line-x" like imitations. I had my body shop apply their chip guard about 6" high all around the lower perimeter of my truck. Then I had them paint it black like the truck so you couldn't notice the difference. I paid $300. I've yet to do the bed yet though, as of now I'm rocking an STK liner which seems to be very nice. When I can afford it I'll have them do the bed next spring. He's quoted me $400 for that over the rails.

i agree that 1600$ for it all was a little much. they kinda have a monopoly on it.there is no one else around that does it.any brand i searched all over. the next closest place is almost 50miles away.

if you use your bed i wouldnt get the color matched. it gets scuffed up to easy.the paint and the clear coat just wont hold up to abuse.

i went to the body shop about 5miles from my house yesterday.i want to get the plastic lower valance,plastic insert,and the plastic around the fog lights in the front bumper,and the plastic piece where the antenna fastens on painted to match my truck.he told me under 200$.we got into a little discution and he said that they also do a bed liner. he said that they could have did my bed and rockers for about half the cost painted to match. he said its not as thick as rhino but if you are not using it like commercialy it holds up pretty well.wish i would have known that could have saved my self a bunch of money. he said that alot of body shops are doing it now. so i would go and check your local body shop to have it done.just like 01dodgeram360 did.

donnt do herculiner i know 2 different people that have used it and after a couple years it started peeling up on the bed. maybe they didnt prep right but it did start peeling up.

Ah man, I almost wish I didn't say anything about that. Well at least you know you have a very high quality chip guard and it's not going to have any issues.
