Best looking topper period!

I am wanting to get a new (used 04 or newer) F150 and need a topper on it for my business. I want a topper that looks like it was designed by Ford and looks like it BELONGS on the truck, not like a lot of the ones I see. I don't really care what it costs, I just care what it looks like.

Opinions?

Thanks
Figgy

I saw a snug top topper while I was getting my tonneau cover put on in Vegas. The lines looked very clean and it flowed with the truck. I've always been very happy with snug top products.

I was in LA yesterday to pick up a fiberglass top for a ford van and the company showed me a brand new topper for the F150. It fit the lines of the truck really well, with a slightly raised center area similar to what our hoods look like, maybe a little less pronounced. They're going to be available in primer or painted to match and with or without a third brake light strip. It has a slightly raised section like a spoiler at the rear but it's blended in very well so it looks like it belongs. The company name is Fiberine. I haven't looked for a web site but they're located in Wilmington, CA. They're a small company that builds tops, running boards, air dams and such. Easy to deal with because of the small size. And the owner has a brand new Lariat. Bill

+1 on the snug top, you cant beat how flush it mounts. Oh i was on umm the ARE web site and they have a new flush cover that looks pretty nice, but i still think the snug top has better hardware and what not.

heres the link to the new ARE cover http://4are.com/news/index.php?actio...ype=news&id=34

Hey Figgy, I have a Leer shell and really like it. It has the headliner (low pile gray carpet) and is a 'Over the bed rail" fit. It has a re-enforced top and comes in three different styles. I have the midgrade shell (Approx. 1350.00 installed) I do a lot of fishing and camping. The rear glass has an SUV style latch and is very secure. I do not know if this is what you are looking for but you can check out Leer.com and view the other styles... BoB

what exactly is "over the bed rail fit". im assuming the cap goes over the plastic bed rail, but does it touch the truck. is there any worry about the cap scratching the truck paint?

i think i may eventually get one of these, i do alot of tailgating and travel to florida alot.
