I think the corksport bar is hollow. I used to have one for my Ford Escort and it felt pretty light. It was a hollow core but because of the design of the bar is was pretty strong.

I recommend them i put my oem fan next to the radiator and it was just as thick as the radiator and the slim fan together. And i had trimmed the oem shroud to fit with the radiator so thats a big difference.

bedliner wont help against rust in fact it will just hold the moisture in the metal and let it rust faster if it is already there, bedliner is a great topcoat if you rust proofed the fenders or have brand new panels that can be covered with bedliner .I've seen lots of cars and trucks that rusted worst after the bedliner was applied to floor of inner fenders because it traps the moisture i would never use it. i recommend POR15 or similar products

yea ur right bro...
but no, i gots no rust so its good to put it over somthing that has no rust to pertect it more from rocks, mud, sticks anything that that can take off ur paint and stuff like that but.
