Trim

[College Student]

I was thinking about putting bed liner on the eddie bauer flares and bumpers and all the exterior trim, i was wondering though, does this mess with the back up sensor? or can i still use it after putting the layer of liner on the bumper, i'd like picks of a red with the black trim if anyone has some

As long as you dont paint over your sensors you wont have any dramas putting bedliner on the bumper.

I understand a lot about cars grown up fixing them all my life but are the sensors the black circles, located in the little strip thing on the bumper? Could you add pictures

I believe the entire strip that the black circles are inside is the backup sensor. You would have to leave that whole area unpainted, otherwise it will effect the performance.

Meaning that there would be a brownish color strip inside my what would be newely black trim, is there a way to get what im looking for?

You could just do an experiment...put duct tape over that whole strip except for the shiny black lens things and see if the backup sensor system works. If it does, then you can paint the bedliner over that strip.

I didnt think of that i'll see what happens, if tape works i'll then work on cardboard

Vinyl Dye (NOT the flexible coating, but penetrating dye- get it for sure at OReillys) will work. No runs or problems, either.
