    it might help to post the seller info. there's definitely not enough info here to make any reasonable guestimates on their legitimacy.

    i run a $160 non-branded tonneau cover off ebay. i did a install thread in the tonneau area on it, just search for my posted threads.
    i'm quite happy with it. it does everything i need it to do, and is essentially 'disposable' when compared to $500+ covers that work the same way. there might be some definite quality/install differences, but for the price, i feel it comes with the territory.

    I think this is the same company. Looks like the 5 star reviews could be fake. Some of the 1 star reviews look like they could be due to bad quality products as opposed to 1a auto having bad service. Idk, looks ok to me.

    When buying online from a company for the first time, I always google reviews for them first and read the reviews on various review sites. (Regardless if feedback here though that’s also helpful).

    https://www.google.com/search?q=1aa...pgBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp

    I also google the item in question to see the reviews for it and look at the pricing at other stores. Like this:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=tra...2ahUKEwjbk8Dq89P6AhVUg2oFHTAWBE0QsO8FegQIGBAe

    That cover appears to have vinyl over all the panels instead of over each panel for what that’s worth. Good luck.

    When you enter the part number now the price is 241.00 There are no reviews on the site right now. Hard to tell. Like the earlier poster stated. At that price may be worth the gamble.

    few things here and there.
    Is it a Diamondback? No.

    Is it legit? I’d say so. Well, I’m going off of some reviews I was able to find, but it doesn’t seem bad at all. For that price, it seems pretty awesome.

    Gamble could certainly be worth it

    Reason for the low price lies in its hybrid construction - it's somewhere between a soft tonneau and hard tonneau. ABS sheets are laid over an aluminum frame, then everything is covered in vinyl. (Guys are standing on the frame in the photo.)
