If you can post a pic of it on your truck. Their site has some screwed up frames, and I'm not seeing any pics on how close it is etc etc.

Is it just like the snugtop or what?

I just installed a Snuglid SL. Very high quality, clamp on hinge system, prepainted with a great finish, and latches and locks like the trunk of a car. A little pricey for me because it had to be shipped cross country, but well worth it. I can road trip in the truck now and not have to wrap everything in ghetto plastic bags.

From what I have seen, the Snugtop and ******* with hidden hinges are of the highest quality I have seen, and have about the best fit. I have a Fibernetics that has the raised lip on the rear for a spoiler effect, and was a little disappointed by the overall quality, but it fits fine and looks real good to me complimenting the lines of the stepside. Just it does not come with carpet. Snugtop and ******* are expensive, with the ******* at the top, but at least Snugtop doesnt put that extension on it that covers the plaster wing on the tailgate. I have seen this on a lot of our trucks and it just looks like complete *** to me! Snugtop will sell you a cover that eliminates the wing, and covers the bolt holes on the tailgate. I got one on mine, and it doesn't look that bad since my truck is black. Later when I can afford it, I am just going to have the bolt holes filled in. I have been quoted $400 bucks at three shops for the tailgate smoothing.

Check mine out. Don't know what kind it is though. I'm happy with the quality. I do need to find a replacement lock cylinder though.

That doesn't sound too bad. That includes the flipkit for the handle right?
Mine was 350 but I supplied the relocator, and they painted my Esky handles too. Mine was done perfectly, couldn't ask for anything more, no waves, little filler, paint is smooooth, no orange peel etc.

I"m running the snugtop. It was around 1000 installed comes with life time warranty on the paint which has been used many times. I'm on my third or fourth one but I"ve never had any hassles.
