Smoothline was running a special; mine optioned the way I did was about $2500 plus shipping. Body shop charged $500 to paint and I installed it.

Top is light, about 70 pounds. Two wingnuts and the factory front style lever latching is used for mounting.

How is your paint when you remove it? Any wear or vibration damage?
