Bought a new 14 fx4 yesterday (supercrew, 5.5, EB, appearance pkg - a little sooner than planned, could not pass up the deal 
Am now scrambling to get a bunch of stuff to protect the finish. Had been looking through threads over the past month, but no time to do that today and still get an order in.
Any comments or advice is appreciated!
1. Wheelwell liners - husky or ? Want the most coverage.
----OEM. love mine. shoot a line to TASCA here on the site, they can get them to you cheap.
2. Molded mudflaps - Husky or Weathertech or ? (Best fit for FX4, compatible with liner, easy install)
---Weathertech. If they were compatable with aftermarket flares I would get them myself
3. Behind the grill screens - rad/intercooler/lower intake - will make myself from some screen unless some mfg has something special.
--- cant help here
4. Tonneau - no idea here, good cheap one vs. really good (non-fiberglass)
--- good luck. I've seen a LOT of complaints about these types like the BAK flip and whatnot. I'd get an ARE fiberglass one, but that is me. Someone talked about loving one they got from autoanything that had a few others weigh in on. Think it was like American or something close. Check their site (www.autoanything.com), also find his link in the vendor section and click his signature to get 16% off
5. Peel off plastic paint/headlight protectors (the truck has hid lights) - are these gimmicks or does someone have decent ones?
---Go to a tint shop to get this done. My local place is kinda expensive but everyone swears by their products as holding up forever as well as being very useful in preventing rock chips. Might want to consider getting the entire front done and not just the lights.
Anything else I should be looking at? Had not planned to get one until next month, but there it is in the driveway now! Haven't been this psyched since I was a kid, lol. Man oh man, this is gonna be fun. Thanks all
