I am thinking of getting a set of bed rail caps....the new body style has some wide bed rails and mine are already has a couple dents...anyways they have the plastic bed caps, and the aluminum diamond plate caps...I like the looks of the alum. caps but i can see them getting scrached up.. Now the plastic ones look good and can get scrached up and still keep its color (since it is colored molded plastic) anyways wanted to get some input from u guys

Only thing about spray liners is that it really does not absorb impact....i do want to have the bed sprayed but I am thinking more like bed caps that will absorb impact on the rails

Hmm idk about absorbing impact. There was some info online about them helping prevent dents alot. Id go with a spray in bed linear over the rails. I have line-x in my trucks and Im real impressed with it. But, out of your options I think the metal ones look old and the plastic look more modern. Plus Id say they'd take up more of a impact.
Also.. I added a poll to your thread!
