They look great. You do have to be very careful with the installation. The adhesive is strong. Be very careful when pushing down and removing the red tape cover. I had to force part of it back up as it did such a good job of adhering to the top of the rail, I had difficulty getting the side tape cover removed without tearing it. My suggestion: take your time, go slow. I am very happy with them.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any rail caps for my 5ft Tacoma, but the plastic is very easy to cut with snips/Dremel so I bought the 6ft version and chopped off a foot from the end. Aside from metal diamond stamped rail protectors these seem to be the only ones left on the market. Good quality, packaging was a bit sparse but it's durable plastic so they arrived ok even though the box was severely damaged

Easy to install if you're thorough in reading the instructions. Fits well. Just make sure you read the instructions before tackling the install.

Fast shipping. Fit very nicely on my 1999 Toyota Tacoma. I gave it a four star because the installation instructions was not correct on which adhesive backing is to be removed first.

Difficult to install at first, but when you figure it out it is easy. Do NOT pull all the adhesive tape off first. Looks awesome when you ace complete, and fits like a glove.

Purchased this product for a red '97 Tacoma. They were very easy to install and look very nice on the truck. They have been on for 20 months and are still looking good. The truck is not garaged so they get full exposure to the sun. They are flexible, but heavy enough to protect the bed rails (we have used the truck for moving furniture, gravel, large stones, soil,mulch, etc.). The truck was also in an accident that involved a side impact that seriously bent one side of the bed. Although the bedrail cap on that side was deformed and popped loose, it was not damaged and easily reinstalled after the bed was repaired. No indication that it ever took the hit. I would definitely buy this product again.
