Bought 1 inch larger than RAV specs because many reviewers noted it was slim. If you use it on my outside mounted spare tire AND on the spare tire cover which is starting to crack it is very free. I hate taking a star for my mistake but can't say I like it. After a few days, this smoothed out and the extra footage became less noticeable. Fits around the hoop and tucks nicely into the underside. The material is surprisingly thick and supple, feels solid. How it will hold up in the Florida sun remains to be seen. The finish is somewhat shiny and slightly metallic, which matches my matte silver gray bumpers. It has NO high gloss like diamond plate and the pattern is only slightly embossed. More like polished stainless steel, but more plastic than metal. It doesn't look cheap despite being unashamedly vinyl. The price was right - seventy-five dollars cheaper than a replacement Toyota Hard Shell. Arrived on time and neatly packaged.
