I have the same thing and I'm very happy with it. I was surprized at how well the paint matches.

i've been considering a cover also. Do they typically come pre-painted to match? Also, what are some benefits of the ARE cover as opposed to other brands?

congrats ELO.

******* is the cheaper brand
the quality is not that good, also it does not come with raingluttter,have to drill holes to put it on.
stockland is another one also have to drill holes
snugtop is good but expensive,
the A.R.E design is like your hood you get like 10 inches more space,also is easy to open.
thanks

I love my ARE cover. I paid $700 installed + $70 for carpet on the underside. The auto lock came free with an online coupon but I had to pay $85 to have it installed. $855 total. I wish I had the light. It can be awfully dark back there. The ARE's are top quality all the way.

I love my A.R.E cover (pics in the gallery). I also had my installer put a pin switch in so the light automatically turns on when I open the cover and turns off when its closed...very useful!
