Just ordered a Bakflip f1

Postby uneasyrider [OP] » Jun 15 2011, 5:44pm

So after 3 days of agonizing over which Tonneau Cover to buy I decided on a bakflip f1 which I bought for $770 no tax, no fees, free shipping to Florida. I went with the f1 (which is an HD with fiberglass top panels instead of aluminum) over a G2 or HD because of the great deal I got online or I else I would have bought a G2 for $660 (best price I could find).

In case anyone is interested in the differences on the 3 backflips here they are:

G2 - 40 pounds, painted aluminum.

HD - 60 pounds, more aluminum frame, thicker panels, powder coated, better water seal system than the G2.

f1 - Same features as the HD with fiberglass panels on top that will not scratch, fade or dent and better strength and material for loading on top of in all ways.

This is from bak's website and 2 phone calls to their tech support guys who were really great and said f1 is worth is long term (I bet you say that to all the guys... ;)

Anyway they are all good products according to bak, and my wife will no longer have to listen to me talk about Tonneau Covers!

I had the same experience looking online and even calling some of the more aggressive looking companies and was getting prices higher than you got until I did online chat with called SV Customs http://svcustoms.com and offered them $750 and I'll give you a credit card right now. They gave me a coupon number and told me to call in and order it after we agreed on $770 including tax and shipping and it is currently in route.

FYI dealers don't keep any covers in inventory they just take the order and your money and email the manufacturer where to ship it so one guy make be oakay making $100 and another guy $200. Bak uses MAP advertising so they all look the same online but they all discounted on the phone. The only price diffence could be shipping but I live in Florida and Bak is in CA so you can't be much farther away than I am. I asked the guy on the phone if he would do this for other guys on this site and he said yes.

For $110 I had to do it. The aluminum skin can dent and scratch and is hotter to touch, the fiberglass is lighter, wont dent or show scratches and carries more on top if you need to.
