Default Thoughts about fiberglass caps...pics?

I'm desperately trying to figure out how I want to go about putting a cage in the truck. I don't want to cut up my current tonneau cover, or fab up something that would work. I want to keep a covered, lockable space for my bottle, battery, and whatever else I decide to throw back there.

The easiest way that I've come up with to do this would be to sell the tonneau and get a fiberglass cap. My biggest worry is the looks of a cap...they've kinda gone out of style.

Just wanted your thoughts/opinions, and any pics of late model RCSB's with caps.

Something like this perhaps?

Nope! Don't do it! I do however like the caps that make a truck look like a Tahoe, but caps are not for me.

The only way I would do it is cut two holes and bend the back posts in the raduis of the lid opening. If that make sense!?

Hope this gets an idea of what I am talking about. After doing this quick bmp I think I would stay with a cap!

Don't do it. Dad bought one for Mama's Indy and I hate it. It's hard as hell to back up with it during the day, much less at night. There are extra blindspots with a camper shell. Worst of all they look stupid. I'm gonna ****** that thing off and put a bed cover on as soon as I can.

That's probably the one cap that I don't like.
