Fiberglass cap

I'm thinking of getting a Fiberglass cap? I was looking for something close to a SUV look (not a old man cap).
The Century Nouveau is close.
I was wondering if anyone else had one and it there are any pictures.
Thanks

Take a look at the ARE Z series. I have on my truck and love it. Well built and looks good.

I too have the Z series cap and love it. Had it on the truck over a year without any problems, unlike the Century cap on my previous F-150, which had issues from the get go.

I have the Snug top Super Sport Carpeted inside and light.
Picked it up for 680.00 used
the Leer and A.R.E. also are nice.
The side window matters for the look in my mind.
I don't like the slider window (old style)

I was all set to buy an ARE Z series cap. Called another dealer to get a price & he said he didn't prefer to sell the Z series because he claimed the frameless windows will end up leaking & the rear window is just a solid piece of glass & if you have the misfortune of breaking it, the cost of a new one is 700.00. He suggested the CX series. Anyone have any opinions. I really liked the look of the Z series even though it cost 500.00 or so more.

I think hes dead wrong about the windows and is stuck in the past in his thinking.As far as the rear window..hey thats what insurance is for.I cant see it breaking unless someone is breaking into it.I never lock mine...thats what the alarm is for...and if they really want to get inside I'd rather them lift it than smash it.I did have an issue with the drip guard on the rear window.If you look at the picture above you can see the drip guard is shorter than the window.Thats because one side cracked from pulling the window down I think..It was like that when i got the truck.I trimmed both sides at an angle and re-centered it..and its fine for now,no biggy.

I appreciate your response. I was really suprised to hear what the dealer had to say. I guess it's back to the Z series. Thanks again.
