Line X, Over, Under,color Matched?

Duse · July 16, 2009

I'm going to get my White 05 CC Silverado HD Line-x'ed next week but am killing myself on weather I want the over ,or under the rail

This is NOt a work truck.

I also thought about haveing it color matched?

Any one have any pics with a white truck with it over or under they can post.

I did do a search but didnt find any white truck pics of it.

I dont know if this poll thing is gonna work but,I'm gonna give it a shot.

Charlie,

I like under the rail for a lightly used truck. The color of my choice would be a light gray.

Oh thats great, another option for me to ponder(just kidding)

I never even thought about a different color.

But now that I'm thinking about it ,,,I dont know?

I think that would be to many colors even though my interior is gray.

Thanks for the reply chuck

My vote (which doesn't count) is under the rail.

Charlie,

I painted my El Camino a pure white and put light gray Zolotone (speckled) trunk paint in the bed. Interior was black/charcoal. Looked great.

Under the rail. In standard black.

Under...and pay extra for the UV protection if you go with a dark color.

I am "Over" fan because of the added protection. Your going to want something to protect the top side and I think the sleek Line-X works great and looks great as oposed to buying rail caps which have to then be drilled on or stuck on with double sided tape which then will leave a residue anyway of you ever take them off, or if they fall off. Also, I'd say go with the normal black.Somtimes the colors look tacky.

I'll toss one out here for a different "color". Like Wasax3 mentioned, I think you do need to be careful here. But since black is not truely a color, and as my sig sez, there are many shades. My Line-x is chevys greystone metallic, basically a slightly darker silver. IMO, I think some are stuck in a "bedliners must be black" mentality. I don't know about a white one- if it were to fade or change in any way it may then contrast your paint elsewhere- ie white on off-white won't look so good. So pick a contrast that can stand alone even if it changes with time. Just not pink Do a search. I asked the same question before I did mine and got some pics posted.

As far as over or under goes, I chose under- you can always replace a cap, but the Line-X is there for good, and certianly doesn't have as finished an appearance as the OEM caps.(personally, I think black liners look like wheel well undercoating....but to each his own)

Good luck and have fun with it!

I like under the rail..

Mine's over the rail. Saved me from a lot of scratches.

And it's black, so in a way it is color matched.

+1

Also rails caps will hold water underneath them and it will cause streaking on your paint.....such a pain when your trying to wax.
