I've always loved chrome nerf bars, but for heaven's sakes man, black is the way to go now! That's a stud of a truck. Never seen black like that before. Holy cow. Might have to do the same to my truck...

 

Your truck is that dark ming metallic blue right?

IBM... Imperial Blue Metallic.

Line-X can't match the color exactly due to the metallic flake, but they showed me a sample of what they can match,.. and it will barely be noticeable on the bars. Should look sweet when they are done.

 

Gotcha, hard to tell form pics. My bro had one that was the dark ming metallic blue. Looked almost purple in the right light.

Those steps will look great when you get em lined! Can't wait to see em!

LINE-X IS THE BEST THING EVER!

 

How do you like the tint? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Any pros or cons that you can think of?

 

looks sick i like it

 

Very nice, can't wait to get back out to Oklahoma so I can black mine out again. They really frown on it here in California.

 

Those are the exact nerf bars I want. Looks awesome, Buddy!

I love the tint. Every car I have ever had I have tinted. I really does make a difference, especially on sunny, hot days.

with the advancements in tint development and application, it really does hold up really well and for a long time.

 

Looks sharp, I like the line-x idea, should hold up really well.

 

Where'd you get the bars at? Inexpensive? Looks great. I'm thinkin' bout that style too but full length.

 

I like the bars, look great on your truck. Post some pics after they get linex'd. You're making me second guess my purchase of the stainless bars I just ordered, oh well, I guess we'll see how they look once they get shipped.

Again - sick truck, man!

 

Just an update. The truck is scheduled to have the bed Line-X'd as well as have the nerf bars done as well. Bed will be done the generic black and over the rail. The bars will be colored to match the trucks paint code. I have already taken the bars off as well as removed the brushed stainless step pads. The step pads are getting a polishing treatment to make them resemble chrome. Also ordered chrome bed rails to balance out the amount of chrome up front, plus I think it will look good also.

On another note,.. I did get a good quote for a Rough Country 3.5" lift with installation and am deffinately going to be doing that in the coming months. All in all, the truck should looks pretty awesome when done.

 

Love the description. be sure to post up some pics, tmurph!

 

Update!!!

Got the Line-X sprayed today. I was able to pick up the truck, but will have to wait until tomorrow to pick up the nerf bars. They had an issue with the color and had to apply a second coat and allow to dry overnight. I will say the color is spot on!

Anyways, here are some pics of the bed. It turned out extremely well and I could not be happier.

Good shot that shows the thickness of the spray:

They must have applied a 3D logo prior to spraying the bed. Deffinately was not expecting it, but it is a cool way to put their name on it, especially since I opted out of the tradition window sticker:

I will post pics tomorrow of the nerf bars so stay tuned in.

 

Wow looks great. Always liked the linex product.

 

I got the same bars on my truck. im waiting for my chrome brush guard and piaa lights to come in. should be here tomorrow and i will install immediately and post pics. looks good on your truck

 

Here are the nerf bars. They are a little sirty and look a lot better in person. I could not be happier and the best part is,.. they are extremely durable now and will resist rusting more than any other coating!

Here is the before and after of the polished step pads:

Let me know what you think!

 

Looks good

 

Looks good

Thanks! I am pretty stoked with how well the bed and bars turned out. Mad props to the guys over at Line-X of Hagerstown!

 

I am very jealous of the 3-d decal they put on, i got mine done at Line-X of Frederick and they did an AWESOME job as well, but i really like that 3-d decal with the Line-X over it.. Truck looks great!!

 

Looks great! I love those nerf bars

 

I'm looking at the same bars for my EXT Cab. I have the factory mud guards and was wondering if there would be space between them and the bars up front? Dont want them to rub...

 

i used a spray from lows that is a rubberized sealant and prevents rust. looks exactly like the line x, but cheaper probably. i sparayed about 3 coats on to give it a little thicker look. works great. if you buy the dominator steps, the paint will chip off realy easy and it will rust.
