Customized bed?
I expect to get moisture in the bed with the rubber seal all around the cover and tailgate having to meet at corners. It's just too much to expect it to completely seal water-tight every time (especially when most admirers don't know to open the tailgate before closing the cover). Carpet might get and stay wet, if you're not careful. I love the retro look of the wood (like) rails that come with the bedliner option, though. I'm thinking of making some oak or walnut rails and adding them to my ABS bed. This wouldn't be very functional and I am not one to do a lot of customizing, but I think it would be great. I think I could always return it to stock, if I decide to later.
Funny thing...my tailgate has carpet even though the bed is not. Mine's not quite like the picture above. Hmmm.
