A.R.E. V-Series Bed Cap installed!

[aspect]

Ordered December 29th and arrived today in Western Canada. Pretty good turnaround!

The installer thinks it's going to look terrible (my truck is white). I am excited. More pics later today...

First picture! Will take some better ones after work.

Some less bad pics. The fitment is great.

Not his truck. Please share pics when it is installed. I like contrasting colors like that.

The color and texture at first glance look close to the plastic on the bed rails if it is a close match I think it will look good! excited to see the end product. I'm leaning towards buying one of these caps also.

Yep, this was my thought process. I feel like on the lighter paint colors, the plastic cladding around the bed and back of the cab makes paint-matched caps look bad. I noticed that I liked the caps way better on darker trucks and I think this is why.

So, I decided to roll the dice on my cap in the hopes that it will look good. Also might be a little easier to re-sell in the future (although resale on caps is terrible in general).

I know your in Canada but wondering the price ? I just don't get why Maverick caps are so much higher than larger ford F-150 caps. Hoping they come down in price to reasonable some day,.

Well, it doesn't look terrible actually at all...can't wait for more pics to give my final opinion, but I think it will look good and stealthy

To me a body color cap can look nice but it also kinda looks like the truck is masquerading as an SUV. I like how the contrasting color showcases the fact that you're driving a truck. Looks good!

It looks like there are some kind of rails on the top of it? Are those for attaching roof cross bars?

You actually put steelies ON a Maverick? Are they snow tires or do you actually prefer them to the FX4 wheels? I think the FX4 wheels are the best looking out of all thr sets.

Yep, rails for crossbars and stuff. I think I may make a ladder rack that goes across the whole roof.

Snow tires.

what's it look like inside the cap? any windows open? access to the cab?

I think it looks great. My maverick is carbonized gray and I've been thinking lots about cap color, since the bed rails are still a slightly different color to the paint, ive been trying to decide on matching the bedrails like you did, or match paint then see if I can get the bed rails painted to match.... But even just matching the bed rails like you did might be easiest and still looks great in my opinion
