I think thats a good option. If you start pulling fabric over the edge of paint etc it rubs back to bare metal and if not being used all the time it starts rusting. Like NES go look. You could even go to a wrecker if they let you browse and find the type you like and cut off as a sample. I've had lots of utes and u can go for the heavy duty eyelet with swivel. It depends if you want to make them a feature or have them inconspicuous. Gee that's a big word. I think go for boat quality and the front of the tarp could be secured with these twist ones on the front. You need to decide if you want them as a feature. These were good on front of my rodeo.
The ones at the left side of the pic. Very strong. I like talking Utes. Sometimes it suits it to have a more Industrial look.
