Just gotta figure out how to mount it.

What type of rattle can paint should I use to re-cover it? What are the benefits of bedliner vs. rustoleum? Thanks!

For a form>function piece I give it an A++++++++

I would have bought it.. I prefer the bedliner for this kinda stuff.. However do u plan to mount any fogs to it? if u do get those mounted first and then pull them off and coat it..

Yeah I was gonna go with a flat black. Just want something that will last and stop/prevent rust so I dont have to take it on and off to repaint it.
