Default tonneau cover

ok the other day we had some bad wind and it busted the latch on my tonneau cover and it fliped up and folded over the cab of my truck. needless to say it is completly shot. so i took it off now i need help deciding what to do. should i leave the bed open. put a new tonneau cover on, put chrome roll bars and offroad lights in the bed, put black roll bars and offroad lights in the bed. or other idea

thats what happens when you buy those cheap fabric ones. if you dont use the bed that often go fiberglass. its worth the money

Here's an aluminum tonneau that claims to be extra strong:

My fiberglass ARE tonneau also broke in two in a 100+ wind of Hurricane Wilma.

i think any fiberglass tonneau would snap under those conditions.
