Default Just picked up new Platinum!! Looking for ideas for mods/accessories

First I want to have windows tinted, spray in liner, tonneau cover (I like the ones that fold).
My dealer said he would do the spray in liner for $329. I mentioned Rhino Liner as being the best from what I've heard, he rolled his eyes and stated they're all about the same. Thoughts? I don't necessarily like the thickness of the Rhino. The spray in liner (which I think was factory) in my 2003 GMC Sierra Denali has held up very well.
Tonneau covers - There are tons to choose from. I've seen the Bak Flip HD and like it. My concern is leaking down the road. I want one that either rolls or folds all the way to the rear window in case I need to haul a tall item (fridge, etc.)
Any thoughts/opinions on covers and/or spray in liner would be appreciated.
After these accessories are on cold air intake and exhaust are next.
Thanks!

I just got Line X and love it. it was 499 though from a line X dealer. not sure what brand the dealer will use, but there are differences. Thickness, feel, durability...

Default Truxedo

I went from a Peragon to a Truxedo Lo Pro QT. I love it , rolls up all the way , looks great and no leaks.

I also have LineX and looks great. That seems like a good price for spray in though. I have Pace Edwards roll up bed cover and I like it a lot. Fairly leak proof. I also did the LED lighting in the bed and wired up a tailgate lock to my door locks so I don't have to worry if I locked it or not.

How about that? For the record, I'd love to get rid of my Peragon as it's just too darn leaky. I have it PTM in Ruby Red, so if anyone's interested...

Welcome to the Platinum Club! If I didn't get a factory spray-in I would have gone with Line-X. I would go with Peragon if I were buying a Tonneau....
[MENTION=122875]terraformer[/MENTION] - how much are you looking to get for your Peragon? Is it the new model?

I have had two trucks with line-x that came in, I would not pay for line-x after seeing how it held up.

Take a look at the BAK Roll-X bed cover. It has all the features you want and I like the way it sits flush with the bed. I installed one a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! Let me know if you are interested in going that route and I can save you about $150 on it directly from the factory.
