    Well it is the strongest thing I have personally seen, but it isn't impenetrable. I have had to touch it up. I use a spray on bedliner and gloss rustoleum and you can't really tell unless it is a big gouge.

    Pros:
    Durability
    Look (Opinion)
    Easy Maintenance
    Easy to clean (use a power washer)

    Cons:
    Expensive

    Thanks! Yeah I used pretty much all of my armor on that little run.

    Definitely stronger than powdercoat.


    Snorkel has been good. I drove through some pretty serious winter storms without issue. I haven't gone through any crazy water or anything, but I trust it a lot more than the exposed intake I had after I removed my wheel liners to trim my fenders.

    Edit: If you get one be prepared to have to explain it to people. Most people have no idea what it is or does. Oh and the people that do know what it is ask stupid shit like "Woah have you been in water that deep? As if the stereo and every other electronic is also waterproof! :facepalm:

    Just got a quote form a line X dealer to do the bumper (blasted, primed, and line xd) for $300 what do you think?

    I want to say I paid about $150 for my DO bumper, although that was from a bare metal state.

    Yeah, I'd say that's a good price for something that's already coated.

    Line x premium is UV resistant and easier to clean supposedly. My sliders are done with line x premium. Holding up great. I went with rusoleum bed liner rattle can for the bumper though
