My Dak is flame red and I had a black liner installed to keep the
red/black scheme going, so your right, the imperfections along the
transitions are more noticable. Got my liner installed at Rhino Liner of
Duluth (GA). I looked into getting a color-matched liner, but these
folks didn't have the color pigments available. My choices were black or
grey.
Yep, the front tie downs are open and the covers still work. They
removed front tie down plugs, the rear tie down brackets, and tailgate
hardware prior to spraying. Apparently they were just careful to not
spray as much material around the tie down and drain holes.
The only thing they covered was that little bolt access port (normally
covered by a rubber plug) near the driver side wheel. If I ever need to
get to that bolt to remove the bed, I'll have to cut through the liner
material - but then it won't make any difference anyway.
