Look, I said don't take it as an insult. Instead of the sarcasm, just post your picture and say that you disagree and think your's looks very nice with bedliner.

And yes, I think that your's looks about as nice as it can look, but you have put as little on as possible essentially (just on the bumper, the running boards, and a low line on the doors, whereas others seen here have done either the entire body, or a higher line on the doors, and over the fenders as well, which the OP is talking about).

And even so, I'd say that your job doesn't look as good as is if it were a stock option, so yes, it looks pretty obviously DIY (again, not a bad thing). I think that having a paint line stop mid-panel without a pinstripe or a physically different piece (like on the LTD models) makes it look a DIY job, and not as nice as a stock option (for an on-road vehicle of course; for off-road, I do take function over form, so it looks good if it looks like it'll survive anything).

Here's some examples of what I had in mind from your suggestion:


Also very well done, but IMO looks a little beater-ish despite being done very well. Or put another way, the bedliner seems to clash with how nice the rest of the vehicle looks.


Also very well done, I think looks pretty good because he followed physical lines with the bedliner. Probably wouldn't look as good up close, but from the pics, kinda looks like it could be stock.

Same thing here, though I wish he'd have stopped on the doors at the insert peice:


The OP doesn't say anything about this being an abused/off-road rig, so I assume that he is like the majority of us, meaning it's a DD and maybe occasionally gets onto some easy off-road terrain. If he still wants it to look good as an on-road, DD vehicle, then I'd still suggest keeping the flares on and not bedlining it (unless you basically re-paint the flares with bedliner, I think that's fine because it keeps the stock look).

And BTW, purely from an asthetic standpoint, I think a 1" line of bedliner in place of flares would look terrible unless you could follow some of the stock lines. I think it'd look really kludged. But again, if you can show a pic and think it looks good, that's fine, it's all individual tastes at the end of the day.
