Today's project: Color matched softopper bed rails

I love my softopper, but I've always hated the crummy brite plated snap rails on the bed sides. I disassembled everything, and color matched the rails, then reassembled with all stainless hardware. IMO it's a huge improvement.

I didn't like the clear annodizing either. I powder coated mine black.

It looks really nice.

The color hasn't bothered me. I hate having the bow in when the top is down. I need to think of a better way to store it.
