I had a checkmate on my S10. They are good covers. There was one problem with mine which was the painters fault not checkmate. The frame around the edge is aluminum. You really need to remove it and paint it seperate from the fiberglass or ti will crack. It took mine two years, but when it cracked the coating that checkmate puts on the aluminum came off as well as the paint. Its no big deal to remove the frame, its just pop rivited on.
Get the quick release hinges, and skip the locks. They dont come installed and you can buy the same kind down at lowes for cheaper. They are basically cabinet locks. If your close to them in kentucky they will install it also. I'm not sure if that is an extra charge though?
