Tonneau Cover

so picked up a cover for the truck.... little off seeing how it was off a sonoma, but the fit will do for now.... torn between paints though.... should I paint it red to match the trucks paint or black to match the windows once they're tinted?

any advice?

it's embarassing is what it is.... but covers are hard to find around here and it was a good deal, never realized the sonomas had tapered beds... it's a quarter inch too narrow on each side at the tailgate and quarter inch too wide on each side at the cab end.... i'll take a pic tomorrow morning and show.... be nice though

dreaming about those leafs :P ordering the spindles tomorrow finally.... so once it all comes in and installed i'll post it up
