Wood Bed Follr Replacement, Stock Metal floor of Diamond Plate?

My truck has (had lol) a wood bed floor. I don't want to replace it with new wood, and I am thinking about aluminum diamond plate. The good things I can see about that are that it would be stong, and it wouldn't rust. I do have a couple of questions abput it though. Would the diamond plate be noisy? It seems like it might be, but I'm not sure. How much would it cost? And, last, if you don't coat it with anything, would it be to distracting whae you are driving and the sun is shining on it? If anyone has any thoughts about it, I would like to hear them. thanks

ouch! Just priced it through metals depot, be around $600 or a little more, depending on what they tack on for custom cut sizes.
