Canvasback Universal Captain/Bucket Seat Covers

Hey all, Jimmy from SnailArmor sent me a final protype tailgate panel to test on my truck. If you haven't seen these before, this product gives you a completely flat surface to make it easier to use your tailgate for camping and daily activities. The flat design helps to prevent ruining your knees when getting in and out and creates a stable surface for laying down drinks, cooking stuff, etc. On the 4G, the panel sits on top of the existing one. This is largely due to the factory design of the plastic tailgate cover, which has a bend in it at the end, unlike other trucks, where it is flat. The panel is made from aluminum and is powder coated black with an etched logo. Jimmy offers custom laser-etching, too, for customization and personalization. It also has countersunk screws. But the real question is... what do you guys think? The production-ready version will be super clean and well finished; this one has some exposed raw aluminum and cuts. One main question Jimmy wanted to know - since the tailgate tucks super close to the bed towards the bottom, the panel has to end sooner. There is a small gap where you can see the ribs in the tailgate. Does that bother anyone? It does not bother me personally, but there is a question there. He could technically make a small plastic trim piece that could cover it and install it just under the end in a thin strip. Check out their site - https://snailarmor.com/

Another rad Canvasback product (made in the USA). These covers work with just about any bucket or captain-style seat. They have a seat anchor that tucks in between the top and bottom. There is a tension strap on the bottom portion. The top of it clips to the headrests. This is the black plaid finish, but they have several others. They also make a bunch of complementary products for the rest of the truck.
