Line X Installed

Got the Line X installed today. Went with painting the bolts. Really like the way it turned out. $459 for the basic.

Looks great, since those are the single use bolts might as well coat them. Looks every bit as good as the Ford applied coating but I don't know how well the Ford coating holds up, I know the Line X does.

Looks great! Mine is going in soon and I am torn on removing the bolts. I was unaware they were single use. I also saw another post on here where they pulled them and the bed is now crooked. I am leaning towards leaving them in at this point. Has anyone just taped the heads off with success or is removal or spray over the only two options?
It looks like they did a REALLY nice job on yours! I hope mine comes out this nice.

Nice, ford sprays over the tie-downs, so even though my platinum has chrome ones, they are covered with bed liner..

LineX dealer would do mine either way. His argument to remove the bolts is two fold. One is the tape line is a natural place for water infiltration under the liner. Of course it is guaranteed but who wants to go back? Second is for those who use the truck, sliding objects in and out of the bed will sometimes open up the liner on the head of the bolt since it sticks up and the bond to the galvanizing is not as strong as it is to the prepared painted surfaces. Mostly seems to really be a personal choice. I had mine removed.

I just can't put my finger on it, but that truck is looking more like mine everyday. You have good taste in color and options...

I love my Ford bed mat. I'm looking into spray liner in the spring. My guy does QuikLiner, just like factory but thicker and fade resistant. Plus way cheaper than LineX or Factory option price.

I have mine scheduled for Thursday, but before I get it done I would like to add that power outlet in back, is that ford option or aftermarket?

Is line x (aftermarket) or ford spray-in bedliner the better choice and why? I know the Ford spray has the Ford logo which is no big deal. What about quality and warranty?

I am going Line X when my '17 comes in. The factory is very slick and things will slide easy and to me probably won't be as durable. My local Line X had a special for the Premium Line X for $525 which they will honor for me when my truck comes in in a few months. A few dollars more than factory and better quality IMO.
