Is there anything to cover this up?

Mabett makes Tub Rails for the 4-door:
Cargo Shelf Side Covers

Looks like IAG sells the same thing:
Rear Body Tub Rail Protector

Mabett does it again! Those look nice, thanks for sharing.

I received my ABS today and I am creating a template to use to see if I can cut out some ABS for the space. I'll post back when I have it done.

Those and the roll bar protectors need to be made for the 2 door. My roll bar is scratched up even with ppf on it from taking the top off. @Mabett

OK, I am happy to say I have finished my C-Pillar cover and am very happy how they turned out. There’s a few imperfections, but overall it’s waaaay better!

I made a template, drew it onto the 1/16” thick ABS sheets I purchased, used my small table scroll saw to cut it out, then put on a little taste of high-grit sand paper and bingo! I used some double-sided 3M tape and stuck it to the Pillar. The color and texture is a dead-match. I think it really completes the two pillars.

Sorry sir. Currently no plan for 2 door.

Well that's unfortunate

Off topic a bit here, but does anyone know where I can find those replacement bolts mentioned in this thread? I took mine out when I swapped to the Bestop and find the originals now.

The bolts to screw down the HT or something else?

Hi! Great work with your diy solution, how is it holding up? Did you ever come across a more permanent fix? I’ve been searching too…

It's working out great! It looks like how it should looked from the factory, and I am not constantly disgusted looking at those unsightly bolt heads

If anyone is interested in a set, just let me know.

Not sure why it isn’t provided for the hardtop.

What's the size of the (3) t30 bolts for the c pillar? I lost them, I need replacements.
Thanks.

i was thinking some soft of plastic that I would spray with bed liner to get the textured look. However, your idea is better!

Maybe our friends at @Mabett can make this and add to their catalog of parts. What do you say?

You might get better results with plastic-dip. Hold it far enough away that you get a pebbled finish. You can do the same with rattle can paint. Essentially you're just doing a bad paint job. Cheaper. Or buy textured ABS sheets. Do a search and you'll find plenty

Why not use Xpel. Easy to cut and install.
