Thanks for all the replies.
I've made a decision. It should be here in several weeks.

Snugtop SL. I gotta travel to get it. No biggie, I haven't taken a road trip in awhile. If I have time, I'll visit my brother. Haven't seen him for a few yrs.

Anyway, the guy matched someone else's price, & saved me 3 hrs. of driving. I owe a big thanks to 02BlueStepside, cause w/o. him suggesting a price match, I might not have tried/ or thought of it due to clouded excitement. Normally I might think clearly, but my excitement could've gotten the best of me.
I expected him to call the place, since w/. a match, he said he'd have to. I shoulda told him the price I wanted to beat & adjusted it by say, $25-100. It's cool tho, he took care of me. Should come in 3-4 wks. That's business days, so it's really like the end of August. Pics to follow.
Thanks again to all for replies.

Must be really cool to go to OZ. Great scenery & I'll bet a ton of hotties.
They shoulda brought that Ute SS here years ago, instead of say, the Aztec or some of the other ugly GM misfits.

Undercover was on my list of considered tonneaus. Looks like a great product.
It's a lot cheaper, & they say it's paintable. IDK what color u have, but it looks like a Birch Metallic. On a solid color, it might take paint nice, but have been told a metallic won't match as nice. So u could try it & hope, go another brand, or what for potential future offering. If it happens.

However, the current Undercover is textured not smooth like the 2 other I mentioned. Supposedly, they'll eventually have a smooth 1, but who knows when or how much.
