If that's all you're looking for, I think that Rhinoliner would be fine. Brush it on yourself, no issues. It'll be plenty hard to protect the box from dings and stuff. Yeah, Line-X is tougher, but we're talking about truck bedliner here. There's extreme, then there's over-the-top extreme. I think trying to go Line-X is over the top.

I agree. IMO you shouldnt need any protection as the boxes are pretty tough on their own. BUt if you feel you must than get the rhino. It will feel softer to the touch as well.

And not to discount Rhinoliner, there were a lot of guys over on Jeeps Unlimited that used that to paint the body cladding (plastic panels) and bumpers on the Grand Cherokees, so it's still pretty tough. I think that'll work well and save you some cash....which you can send to me for helping you. :)

The easiest way to light up sheets of acrylic is to pocket drill holes at the edges for the led's to sit in, and epoxy or hot glue them on. This essentially means you have to use 1/4 or thicker acrylic. I'd personally use 1/2 to 3/4 for any sort of amp mounting.

Also will light up better if you frost the acrylic, can be done easily with a air wizzer and light scuff pad. Just haze the back side leaving the front shiney.

Ok, When you say pocket holes, do you mean a small tiny drill hole? Just deep enough for the LED?

you could place the circle from which was left over from the sub cutout back in the hole and just remove it once you are done applying the line-x, you may have to use some tape or something to hold it in place though
