Jeff,

I keep thinking the same thing. But I know if I don't, I will scratch it loading something and that would make me feel worse.... I'm thinking Its needs one as much as I don't want to. haha your sig makes me laugh every time

Scratches? If that's all you're worried about how about some of the CLEAR film? Like Ford's newer trucks and Rangers used? Acts as stone guards so it's got to be tough. I've heard 3M makes it and you can get it at Automotive Paint Stores.
BTW #1. Nice build man. I've been a watchin'.
BTW #2. Thanks. I snickered to myself when I thought of it too.

Jeff,

Ahhh That is such a good idea..... Ive even thought of clear film or clear a bra on the front and rockers but not the bed sides... I d k It might be to late... I think he started sanding yesterday. Ill call this morning and find out... Maybe a better way to go. Thank you...

I agree the clear on the rails would be cool. I'd have a hard time covering them too, but understand on them getting beat up & it being worse. I have the over the rail vs. under the rail debate playing through my head at all times too!

It does look good. Whoever laid that out is Darn GOOD. I'm glad for you it turned out kinda like a 1/2 full or 1/2 empty....with clear or with bedliner.

HAHA Jeff, Those were my thoughts... He did a very good job with his lines... even he was proud of himself... As he should be he took an extra day to prep and tape... very happy, except now the pay the bill part is never as fun lol

Just for you I get to go install that tail gate handle this evening

I'd be happy with that too. It looks GREAT! I hadn't heard of the SEM stuff before, but that's just one more brand/option to add to my list to look into...
