## Description

Bushwacker OE-Style Ultimate BedRail Caps offer a combination of heavy-duty protection and sublime style, featuring a satin black finish and a pattern specifically designed to complement the factory features of your truck.

Review: Perfect fit! - Perfect fit on my 2008 Sierra. When I bought the truck the piece there was almost completely broken off and would flap in the wind until I finally ripped it off. Cleaning and scraping the old adhesive was the biggest pain and trying to find the piece I needed were no easy tasks. I decided to get this one and voila! Perfect fit, it looks so nice I'm still surprised when I see it! It can be difficult to install once you take the backing off the tape, so just practice a few times. Looks beautiful and fit right over the liner on the gate so when sliding stuff out of the truck it shouldn't get snagged.
Review: Tailgate cap - It fit perfectly and was very easy to install
