    Have you seen what OEM supported accessories are offered by Toyota Australia?

    Accessories (tons!)

    Their CAP and tonneau covers are contructed of ABS plastic, the former with tube frame. This looks like a whitespace product that could easily outsell the crappy fiberglass constructed bed covers. Thermoplastic manufacturing would be cheaper, easier on logistics, offer far greater design opportunities for form factors/features, and could even be offered with pellete-dyed colors. Why don't we have these here??
