IMO it just looks cheap, like you got your rockers cab corners ect done and were too cheap to paint it all to match. I wouldn't bother unless it was just a woods truck or something that was just going to get scratched up and hit with rocks anyways. The best looking truck is a clean one, not one someone took a can of plastidip and a can of bed liner to, again in my opinion.

understandable
just want something i can put on there that will help it from rusting bad or anything.
i might do the fenders just because i want black fenders but they are really expensive to buy new ones so i might just paint those.
any other opinions anyone?

I don't think it would look too bad, I agree that it might look cheap but if you do it right it should come out good. And some people just hate the black paint whether rhino line or plasti dip cuz it looks like a work truck or an easy way to do the job. I think they also make bedliner in other colors so that might be something to look into too. I tried doing a search cuz I know there are trucks with red/black two tone but only found white/black with rhino lining on the bottom haha either way it wouldn't be bad and would protect your truck from rust, although its probably harder to keep clean because of the texture. I would just do some searches, get an idea of what it looks like and do what you want because you should be happy with your truck

i love my truck either way.
just want something that will look decent, give it that nice black out look, and protect it from rust a bit.

Its your truck do what you want.. You have heard everyones opinion. If you are going to do the flares and rockers take your time and have it done right so it doesnt look extremely cheap. I think on our style trucks it dont look cheap at all Rhino Lined at the bottom IMO.. Good luck!
