Probably the only vehicle on the road that looks ok with that instead of paint all over the body.

Update: Stopped by the Line-X dealer over the weekend and placed a custom color (magnetic) to try and match the existing look. Going to do the fenders as well as the trim pieces behind the rear ones. One thing I realized is that on Line-X's website they offer a premium coating (Ultra) that supposed to be smoother so I'm hoping they can make that change from my original order.

Jeep Wranglers too... The Jeep actually looks a little better imo with Linex (See Starwood Jeeps).


Because less than half of the 'surface area' of the jeep isn't body panels anyway. When you take off the roof and doors, all you really have left are hood and fenders essentially. just makes sense to go all the way.

I had dealer Line-X my fender flares, OEM bumpers, and rear splash panels and am very happy with the results so far. I also have the Suntek Premium PPF on about half of the body panels.
Good investment on a Black truck especially. I would only have done the PPF on the front, if I had a White or light colored truck. They tend to show scratches or swirl marks less than
darker colors. Having the mud flaps has also helped prevent alot of rock chips on the side.

The fender flares will see lots of punishment unless you tape them up before hitting the trails/track. If you plan to continue offroading, you'd be best served with Line Xing them. Should about $600 total. Still need to get TMX to do mine, just haven't had the spare cash and I tape up my truck every run anyway.
What type of tape?
