I am driving myself crazy trying to decide on a Leer or A.R.E. topper for my 04 lariat long box.

The A.R.E. of course is more expensive but for me it comes down to appearance.

Does anyone have full side on views of either so I can see their profiles?

Thanks

 

Here is my Century I got it for 850 painted and installed. I like it

 

ARE:

 

Here is my leer.

 

Here is my 2005 F150 longbed with the ARE LSII:





I bought it in september for $810 installed. They had a $100 rebate at that time. Now they have a $50 instant savings coupon so it should be in the area of $860. I can get you some different pics just let me know what you are loking for and I will go take a few.

 

Ordered a Leer 700 today...ARE's are nice but the Leer is quite a bit less in my area and IMO the leer matched up with the lines of the truck better. No pics yet, in fact it won't arrive for 2 weeks or so...

 

just my opinion but i bought the Leer 700 after looking at a century and an ARE LSII. My brother in law has the ARE...it's nice a little pricey but about the same as the Leer 700 in my area....my leer has the carpeted underside, electric lock that locks with the rear doors by way of the factory remote. This is an option that you can get with the ARE as well i'm sure. The century i looked at was a cheap looking top, no underside carpet. I really like the look of the Leer better but go with the one you can get the best service with at the dealer.....there are some stories on here.....whew....also, i like the finished edge on the LEER over the molding around the bottom of the ARE.....i think i have a few pics in my gallery...

 

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a million guys for the pictures. But I said TOPPERS as in CAPS as in CAMPER CAPS as in I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CALL THEM!

I call them toppers but maybe I'm the only one.

OK, same question, anyone got full on side profile views of LEER/ARE toppers, caps, whatever you want to call them?? I would be interested in the frameless window models, top of the line.

Side profile pics?

Thanks

 

To be more specific, ARE Z series and LEER 100XL

 

check my gallery. I went with the ARE mid rise for a little more room

 

Here's my A.R.E.!!!

 

Toppers as in truck caps!

Thanks

 

I call it a camper shell. Mine is a snug top.

 

ARE LSX:

 

I looked at leer and ARE... I like the look of the leer better.. no edge trim looks good to me. The ARE's I have seen in person don't fit very good to my eye. Here is a wrench to throw into the works.. take a look at this cover.. I love the look and fit.. and am going to get one of these eventually. They have a new one on the sight called the razor if you search for it. That one looks good too.....
