Getting an Antimatter Blue Limited and trying to plan out my mods, but unsure on several...hoping the community can help bring some sanity to my decision making and give me some great advice.

- Level...not sure which one and how high I can go without impacting suspension, performance, wear and tear, future autopilot capabilities, etc (desire is to achieve a better looking posture and be able to fit 34 or 35 inch tires)

- Spray liner...deliberately didn’t get factory because I plan to get Line-X because I’ve heard it’s better, higher quality, more uniformly applied, etc

- Tonneau cover...really torn here. Considering either cassette/retracting type like the RetraxPro XR (love the t-slot and waterproofing) or something like a Bakflip. Pros/Cons?

- Wheels...if I get a level and larger tires I’m thinking I need different wheels, but what would look good on a Limited and Antimatter Blue? And maybe the factory wheels would look good too - not sure.

- Tires...I’d like something that looks a little better than stock but don’t want to give up ride quality, noise, etc. What are my best options?

- Tint...planning darkest legally permissible all around...anything special I need to consider here like brand?

- Bed organization...I really like the Builtright Bedrack system for sides but not sure if it’s really practical with the ProPower.

What else am I missing that makes sense on a Limited? This is ultimately just my daily driver and I’m not looking for some ultra-machismo, “look at me I’m like sooo tactical” look so wanna make sure all my mods sort of ‘make sense’.

Thoughts?

Consider ceramic tint as it blocks the heat without the darkness. I have had same place tinting all my vehicles for two decades.

PPT (Paint Protection Film) on the front, fenders, and hood. I usually do 18" - 24" up the fenders and hood. This protects the paint from chips from road/highway debris.

I did the Line-X Premium for $99 extra for the UV protection and no fade guarantee. Even though I have a cover it is rolled up 1/3 the time hauling something and I wanted to ensure the Line-X looks the same black as the day it was installed not fading gray.

The same guy has been tinting, same guy doing Line-X, and same guy doing PPF the entire time. This is why I have been going to this place.
