    I like it. My feeling is what makes you happy, do it. I REALLY want to line-x the whole thing but that seems to be much more $ than this....Go ahead and do your whole VX as a test run for me! Seriously how much do you think it would be to cover the whole VX?
    Anti-glare schmanti-blare. I have no idea what the real purpose of putting a piece of fiberglass on top of the hottest part of the vehicle was...but it looks cool.
    As for licking the truck, that is how I know when its time to wash and wax, its an old witch doctor trick. The real question is how did I get over there fast enough after setting up the camera

    I would think it would cost at least a few thousand bucks to Line-x the whole truck, at least at retail cost. A bed costs 3 or 400, and that requires little to no prep work. Just imagine taping everything off, getting into all the crevices, corners...I remember a pic of an FJ cruiser that was line-xed a khaki color. It was awesome, he did the door jams and all. It was a quality job and very time consuming. I am dreading doing just the cladding, and that is just taping off the cladding/body lines, tail lights, gotta take the rear door spare mount off,or perhaps just go over that as well. I don't know yet.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Tripod and a timer? Yes, sir, I'll shut my piehole now.

    Darn, tried to make a Proton/Black Line-X Photoshop in your honor, but my colorizer looks like complete poo when it comes to lighter colors.

    Here's a "Foxfire"/Black 'shop:
