Default Wheel Well Liner or Line-X?

After seeing a picture my salesman sent me of my truck waiting for me at the dealer, I think I need to do something about the wheel wells. Which is the better way to go, wheel well liners or Line-X? The truck is white platinum metallic tricoat, so it really stands out in the wheel wells. If the liners are the best option, should I go with the Ford liners or aftermarket? If aftermarket, what do you suggest?

I decided to go with the liners on my ordered truck. My sales guy showed me what they looked like on a truck that was on the lot. They are nice and solid, and they look good IMHO

Liners are super easy to install.

Im going to order rugged liners for mine. I feel like the linex has to weigh more and it still allows crud to build up in places that are hard to get to, cant really do that with the wheel well liners

Go with the Ford liners. They are very reasonably priced and fit extremely well...and have them installed by your dealer prior to delivery...I paid $180 installed, and I know others here have paid as low as $149 or so....

Linex style rubber spray. You can buy a can at your local auto store for 13 bucks. I did 3 coats and it doesn't chip or peel. Why pay 150 bucks for black in your wheel wells?!

Thanks for the quick replies, guys! I'm picking up my truck next Friday (I'm working out of state), and the dealer said they could have some liners installed for me by the time I pick it up. That should give the rear end a little more of a "finished" look, I think.

Yup, I had the ford liners put in mine too. Really finishes off the truck.

It should come that way from the factory in the first place...

Our truck is white too, and those rear liners are surely needed for aesthetics as well as functionality.....
