some accessories tomorrow!

Guys,
Getting some stuff done to the new ride tomorrow. Thought I would run it by the experts for opinions or anything you might change.

Installing Bushwacker Fender Flares(either extenda fender or pocket flares?)
Spraying rockers and flares charcoal grey as an accent on my metallic silver?
B&W turnover with the bed sprayed over the rail(also charcoal grey)?
Vent Visors?
Husky liners(grey)?
Rhino lining is what I'm going with this time, wasn't too impressed with Line-X last time.

Any comments, changes, what to expect???

Thanks to the great guys who run this site!!

Line-X is a much nicer product than Rhino in my opinion. The Rhino doesn't look as nice, it's shiny and bubbly. It is more grippy though - sometimes good sometimes bad. If you put a 4X8 sheet of plywood in the back you can barely get it out cuz it sticks to the bed.

Maybe in your area Line-X is superior, but come to north GA and I'd bet your opinion would be different.
I didn't have any problems with the liner chipping, flaking, fading, etc.... Just very POOR install. The lines going around the top cap of bed for an over the rail liner looked like it was taped off by a 2 year old. Not to mention all the overspray I had to remove.
There was no way I was going to let them spray rocker panels when they couldn't tape very straight to begin with.
I also believe service means everything. So far the Rhino guy has gone out of his way to make me happy and I haven't even spent any $$$ with him yet.
He has quoted me a very good price for everything I have listed and install, so we'll see. If I don't like it then I'll know better next time
Any opinions on the flares or color???

Fender flares will eventually wear through your paint where they meet the sheet metal. Do a search here, you'll see what I'm talkin bout.

Not a big deal unless you plan to keep it a long time.

Yeah, I read something about that. Not sure how long I'll keep the truck, but figured if I they ever gave me a problem I'd replace with another set to cover it up or spray liner material there in its place and then put on another set of flares
Thanks for the thoughts and comments. What do you think the charcoal will look like against my silver?

Color is up to you, but I like them to match the color of the truck.
When I was thinkin of flares I was going to paint them 2 tone to match the truck, silver on the bottom, the rest blue like my truck.

I keep my vehicles a long time and didn't want to be fighting rust down the road when the paint rubs through, the trade off is a few more rock chips I guess...
