Mine is carbon fiber, as is the bed cover.

My truck was very unstable past about 140 with the power it is making. Once this bed cover and wing was put on, it doesn't so much as wiggle.

I'll ***** my stuff out. Here's a ton of pics.

I would look into plastic. U can get it cheap. I started usinv plastic for skid plates...it was left over from aluminum gravel train liner. Worked awesome on my mudders. But then went to thinner pieces i used for snowboarding grind boxes. We bought big new sheets for under couple hundred dollars.
