    They are mesh to keep the sailing in the wind down to a min. Not so they are see through.

    I think the short order is

    NOOOO

    It's not a new way to hang sign.

    We've all been seeing it for years. Even doing it ourselves.

    Stepdecks aren't exactly accommodating like flats are. Companies don't provide an actual sign to install in the stake pockets. And loads don't always accommodate either.

    Pulled lots of step decks and never covered the lights and never had a problem hanging them.

    Because they’re lazy or unitelligent, there’s NO reason to cover tail lights.

    Now wait FLD, after reading your posts in the other thread regarding this being a "Regulated Industry", I assume that you are being facetious?
