Default Bakflip - Thoughts? Pics?

Does anyone have a Bakflip cover installed on their Ram? If so, what are your thoughts/opinion of it? How does it hold up? Was it worth the cost? Easy to fold, etc.? Have pics to share?

Mine is getting installed today. Once I bring it home I can take pictures. It is snowing here today 25cm, so it may have to be tomorrow.

Hey budmancan...could you please let us know what you think of your bakflip

That's also the cover I'm looking into getting, so any input would be appreciated.

In the pictures it shows that it goes up against the back of the truck, why would you want it resting on your paint

I think you would only open it fully when you're using your bed, ya know? Say...if you're moving a mattress or a ATV or somethin.

Good point, though...would it stratch the paint?

There is an installation video on their website. There are 3 soft tubes that get mounted on the back side of the last panel so that it can rest against the window and not scratch anything. It also has stops so it doesn't slam down.
