Does anyone happen to have any photographs showing an Astro Platinum lid installed on a SuperCrew? I'm seriously considering going with this lid but, with the photographs on Astro's website, I'm slightly unsure about the look.

Good luck RP. Can't wait to see the pics.

 

Thanks Liny. I'll get them up just as soon as I get it on the truck...

RP, you gotta forgive concrete guy, he's from the east coast. All the rejected Newfie Screech goes to Nova Scotia.

 

The ASTRO PLATINUM is installed!

Photos Here!

 

RockPick,
Looks great, if ya don't mind what did ya pay.

 

Thanks Hunt... around $700 (including carpet and light which were standard on this lid).

 

Rock,

You might have already answered this question, but did you order it locally or on-line somewhere?

Thanks in advance & I understand being "zapped" - I just came off refereeing 10 soccer games at an open tournament this weekend myself!!!

 

Ahh, a fellow referee...

I bought it from a local truck shop here in Louisville that sells the Astro brand....

Unrelated...

How long have you been officiating? What levels?

 

Thanks - I will search for a dealer here in Texas.

As for soccer, I am actually in my first year refereeing after playing off and on for 25 years and coaching for about 5 years. I got into it (refereeing, I mean) for our high school games in Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas, but I have found myself at youth tournaments and rec games (USSF & USYSO stuff) more than I planned. I really love the game and to see the exuberance of the 12-18 year old players takes me back to my childhood.

How about you??

 

Their website is astro-cap.com. I believe that you can research dealerships from there if you wish...

As for soccer, I've been refereeing for almost 12 years now (since I was 16) and actually wore a 1994 patch the other day to see if anyone would notice. LOL! No one did.

I've been doing everything from U-10 comp to Division I AAA college (with EVERYTHING in between). I'm also a USSF Assessor.

I enjoy it and it keeps me with the game that I played for 20 years. I tell everyone that, since I got old and fat, I just referee. I just need to be blind to complete the trifecta (although, some will argue that I have achieved that goal already).
