New tonneau cover with 2 pix
I drove 220 miles to pickup my new tonneau cover today. I've seen this cover on one other Lightning, It looks great on the bolt. It took the 4 hours to install, not easy but the baby works great, very safe at very high speeds and looks killer.
BTW- I still have to delete the Yellow BS from my profile.
Later,
Terry

KGM:Paid $595.00 total. That included paint & installation. Like I said it was not an easy job, it was the first LO-PRO they ever installed so that made some thing a little harder but the instructions were very misleading which caused 90% of the problems.

I too went with the LoPro. IMHO I think it is the cleanest look. Admired it ever since I saw it on BABolt's.
First time install for my installers as well. 4-1/2 hrs with me helping and interpreting the instructions. Was a bit disappointed with the fit of the front bracket as well as its ability to probably leak without adding some silicon. Stick on seals were also suspect as the end by the tailgate is really raw looking and the seal strip for the tailgate is nowhere near the right piece for the job.
However, it looks great and can be removed fairly easily. Paint was also dead on.
Can honestly say, my LoPro looks as good on my truck as on yours. Great choice.

Asdeman,
Do you have to drill to install the LoPro or does it have a clamp on system?
Your truck looks great by the way, but I still try to picture the Giallo Mondena Yellow on that truck.

Pacecar18: You have to drill 14 holes but for myself I don't want anything that is clamped down on this truck at 145 MPH. I drove 110 miles each way but I did seem to get better gas mileage on the way back with the cover on. I will keep an eye on my mileage just for sh*t & grins.

Believe me the extra hundred bucks is worth it if you were to see one of the lids being installed.
Putting the other A.R.E. lids on is a snap. The whole thing comes from the factory ready assembled. Drop it on and clamp in place. Done!
The place I got my LoPro installed wanted $50.00 for install. Had them delete that charge if I ordered a BedRug as well. Man I felt kind of bad when 2 of their guys and I took 4-1/2 hours to install.

Asdeman,
Based on what I can see of the pictures, the Lo-Pro nestles just inside the bed at the top... is this correct? If so then the rain seal technology must be gasket oriented vs. overhang oriented. Based on this, how well do you think the seals will work? TIA.

The lo-pro still uses overhang seal technology, it actually is fitted just above the bed rails, not inside the bed. So it uses the same sealing principles as the rest of the tonneau covers that I have seen. It actually rained very hard on the way back after having it installed. Not a drop of water inside the rhino lined bed.
