What may suck to you, may not suck to someone else. It's personal preference. However, I do give Leer the nod for quality and style. IMHO of course.

I've had a Snugtop cab-hi shell since 1993. The quality of the fiberglass is outstanding; still no stress cracks. The mounting system is great. It uses 6 "J" hooks with 1/2" bolts, and the rubber boot is built onto the shell, so no separate bed tape is required. The door latch submerges into the window frame for extra security.

Leer is good. Mine has a Continental cap, and I love it, except that it did fade badly in the FL sun (aluminum). But no leaks, looks great.

I have really liked my Century Fiberglass Cap very much. I bought it in 1997 and used it on my red 98 Dakota, then got a MACCO paint job and it is now almond on my 2002 Dakota. If you can get a good buy on a used cap in good condition, you may want to consider getting it painted. Both the paint and the fiberglass are still excellent. The Dodge dealer price to paint it was $600 buckaroos--the MACCO price was $270. I figured it was only a truck cap, what the hell. It came out like new and I have been very happy three years later. It has seen a lot of Connecticut Winters and hot summers at the beach. Good luck, Fishful Thinking

I have a ARE Z series on my 2003 RC bright white. The cap is very nice, The paint match was perfect. But I think the final outcome depends on who installs it, the guys who installed mine did a alright job, but it could have been done better.
