It’s all about stealth with Rigid Industry’s new Midnight Optics. Leveraging the company’s exclusive Hybrid Spot Optics with a transparent black enamel coating, these products take the subtle “blacked out” look seriously, from black-oxide hardware and dark-gray screen print to black embossed bezel logos. Midnight Optics let these Rigid lights “disappear” during the day while still providing powerful LED technology to light up the night.

Midnight has fallen on Rigid’s SR-Series light bars (6”, 10”, 20”, 30”, 40”, and 50” lengths) and D-Series flush-mount pods (sold as singles and in pairs). All feature high-grade aluminum alloy housing and a durable, UV polyester powdercoat.

Features

  • Creates that hot “blacked out” look.
  • Hybrid Spot Optics with transparent black enamel coating.
  • Complementary black-oxide hardware, dark-gray screen print, and black embossed logos.
  • High-grade aluminum alloy housing.
  • Durable, UV-resistant powdercoat.
  • Available in light bars and flush-mount pods.

The new BedTred Ultra system from BedRug is a four-piece zipped liner that installs with hook-and-loop fasteners to avoid damaging your truck bed. Similar to the material used in life preservers, this product’s 3/4”-thick foam is strong enough to resist battery acid, motor oil, and bleach. Plus, it won’t absorb water, helping it stay free of mold and mildew. The Ultra is ideal for hauling equipment for work or play, with a snug, custom, contoured fit that protects your entire truck bed. Fade-resistant design provides lasting good looks, while the foldable tailgate gap won’t crimp your style.

If you are looking for an ultra-tough bed liner that won’t damage your truck, isn’t permanent, and won’t lower your resale value, BedRug’s BedTred Ultra is for you!

Features

  • TPO composite surface provides superior dent protection.
  • Heavy-duty, 3/4” textured, anti-skid work surface.
  • Provides dent protection and a cushioned, knee-friendly surface.

Holley: Vintage Series Tall-Fin Valve Covers for GM LS Engines

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Coming in September, the Vintage series of valve covers for LS engines leverage Holley’s existing tall LS valve covers, but with a finned design that eliminates the coil-on-cover look (remote coil-relocation solutions to coincide with launch). This change gives your engine bay a classic, retro look.

An extra 0.54” of internal clearance over factory-height valve covers allows for the taller dimensions and contributes to a more muscular profile. To accommodate its customers’ personal style, Holley is making four finishes available:

  • Natural Cast (ready for custom paint)
  • Polished
  • Lightly textured Satin Black
  • Chevy Orange

Vintage series valve covers are designed to fit LS1/2/3/6/7 engines, and they are packaged to install with an OE-style baffle and ventilation system, lengthened factory-style mounting hardware, and a billet aluminum oil fill cap. Holley encourages users to reuse or replace the flange gaskets specific to their applications.

Features

  • Eliminates coil-on-cover look.
  • Classic, vintage appeal with taller fins.
  • Four finishes available: Natural Cast, Polished, Satin Black, and Chevy Orange.
  • Coming in September!
