I had gone back and forth on what type of bedliner I wanted for the new truck between Line-x, Rhino, and Speedliner. My 04 Crew had the OEM plastic bed rails from the factory and I thought it would be a good idea to go over the top of the rail for the new truck to offer some protection on the bed. I was afraid the regular Line-x or Rhino would fade and didn't know what it would look like a few years down the road. I ran across a local installer that was doing a promotion this month on the new fade resistant Line-x Premium that I understand is supposed to be replacing Line-x X-tra. Anyway he agreed to do the Premium at the regular Line-x price. So I have a new SHINY Line-x. First impressions are that it is much blacker than the original Line-x like I had in my 04 and it really has a nice gloss. I tried to get some descent pictures, but it was dark when I got home so the first two below taken in my garage are a little darker than the liner actually appears. The tailgate shot below gives the best idea of what it looks like in person it was taken today in bright sunshine. Anyway for someone considering the new Line-x Premium I give it a defininte :thumbs:

Awesome! Line-X is still on my list of things to do. Can't wait to get it done though. Probably gonna go over the rails like you. Do you mind posting a side and rear shot of the rails?

 

Be sure to come back and post a "long term" review of the new premium.

I'll be glad to take a couple more shots, but it has rained here and the truck is nasty as all get out. May be a few days before I get her cleaned up but I'll take some pictures when I do. Unless something happens to the truck (or me) I plan on being here long term. Been a member since of GM-trucks since 2002 :devil:

 

The premium is darker in color than the regular Line-x and on the taupe gray it looks good (IMO) over the rails. One thing, the premium stayed tacky for a few hours after being sprayed. Drove home with the tailgate down and left if down all night. The feel of it is seems identical to how I remember my previous line-x job.

Had mine done yesterday... White, over the rail...

 

Very nice. That's the first white liner I've seen. My last truck was white, and this wasn't an option, but I like it.

Hmmm mines super shiney too but there was no mention of premium or whatever. I just went in and asked for over the rail and thats what I got. I thought the gray color was a result of fade over time I didnt realize this was a new material altoether as this is my first Linex/ Yee haww good to know

 

I love the look of this stuff though

Thanks guys! It was too much like everything today. $750. for the white over rail.

 

Wow... $750? It's gone up quite a bit... <sigh>

 

E :cool:

 

 

I believe Premium is a fairly new product for Line-x. They have had Line-x Xtra for a while, but I think I read that Premium is a replacement for Xtra. My bill of sale listed it as a $75 upgrade. I got very lucky on price though. My dealer was having a February special for Premium at the regular price. I can see the color option adding a lot to the price, but you should get out the door with Premium in black for somewhere in the $500 (+/-) range. You could go under the rail and save even a few more $$. I thought about installing plastic bed rail covers like the oem ones my 04 crew had, but those on that truck warped. For me this time, it seemed smarter to spray the rail and forget about the possibility of warping plastic rails.
