Smooth bed strips

What is the general consensus on smooth bed strips? Love 'em, hate 'em? Too expensive?

I've developed a low cost smooth bed strip system using unpunched steel bed strips and I may try to market it but would like some feed back on the smooth bed strip concept as a whole.

Re: Smooth bed strips

You are going to competing with the likes of Mar-K. They sell a smooth bed strip for the long and short, step & fleet beds for about every year, make and model. I like the looks of them, however I use punched strips for my projects.

Good luck with your endeavor.

Re: Smooth bed strips

I really like the clean look of the smooth bed strips, but tough to justify the price. I'm in the market for bed strips, so keep me posted. If the were just slightly higher priced than the punched ones, I'd be interested.

Re: Smooth bed strips

I would be interested in it if the price was reasonable. The Mar-k is out of my budget range.
