Innovations Pro-sport cover. Unless you live in CA. I do not think you can get one.I heard the guy had too many returned because the shock rubs against the top when closing and will not ship anymore(not positive) just what I heard.

Thanks Vinnie! I will try them and see if they are still shipping. I love that cap with the built in wing.

Yep, that's Quick Bricks truck alright. It's an Innovation's Pro Sport like Vinnie said. You guys are right about them not shipping anymore and I might have inadvertently contributed partly to their decision.

I ordered one back in the summer. When it arrived it looked perfect. I didn't see the flaws until attempting to install it. The honeycomb core was off-centered (sort of like a Shlitz beer sign inside a rectangle) and when attempting to close it the left rear and right front of the core hit the right front and left rear bed rail tops. It would not fit inside like it needed to in order to close completely and seal.

Needless to say, I was a little upset considering I had waited 8 weeks for the thing to be made and shipped across the country. Innovation satisfied me with offering a replacement at no charge but I opted to cancel the order and get a refund. I got the refund but was left with paying the $220 shipping for nothing! I made a couple of calls stating my case and they decided to refund the shipping also.

It was clearly a manufacturing defect and I was not alone in my dilemma. Lots were shipped thqt way.

Wouldn't you think they would do a 10 minute inspection before shipping these out instead of just stop shipping them?

Dont feel bad.

They have a life time warranty. It took a local camper shell place 12 days to get mine. Of course there was no shipping charge since we are within 60 miles of Innovations to begin with. I put the cover on and didnt notice any imperfections until i had gone to a truck show the following day. The rear below the spoiler where the cap ends and the tailgate shows is of utter crap quality. You can see some bubbles and an incomplete paint job. Along the drivers side middle, i can see sort of a spider web look as the caps bends downward. After paying $992 with the carpet, its going back for a perfect one. However, i have to say its the BEST looking tonneau out there and completes the Lightning.

Im getting a Pro-glass shaker hood. Does anyone know the quality of their shipping? I would sure hate to get something as nice as that hood, screwed up.

****,
No need to worry at all.Besides being one of the highest quality hoods out there. The shipping is the same way.The do not use styrofoam like others.They use that liquid foam that expands around the corners.It makes for a tight seal in the box. also it is a 2 box set.One for the hood.One for the shaker.You will be very happy.

Maybe check out fibernetics like on TZrider's orange L. The wing isn't as big, but its still a good looking cover. more of a spoiler than a wing but cool still
