Great look! ARE and LEER make excellent fiberglass shells for our trucks. Here is my 2012 with a LEER topper; it really makes a difference towing our 25' travel trailer! Happy Trails!

My Ram is yellow also, I was thinking about a shell cause they are so dang convenient, I had one one my last truck. I just thought it would be too much yellow. That looks good with the black stripe seperating it.

They're supplied with your color of choice and has the "BLACK" design to breakup the yellow-

The "BLACK" coating is just like LINEX-hell, you could probably doit yourself to a solid color cap, just take some careful taping/masking--

Good luck

Hello fordtech90,
My LEER topper really gets the air up and over our travel trailer! I have noticed it is more stable towing, has less sway when big rigs blow by and given a long straight road with no wind, a bit better gas mileage and is much better going into a headwind. Even when not towing, the topper gets us a little better mileage and seems more stable. It does weigh about 200lbs but that hasn't affected mileage and it actually makes the truck ride a bit better! Happy New Year! :happy107:

Oh, also in response to the query about price, I paid retail new and it was a bit over $2000 installed; a bit pricey but I feel weel worth it. The quality of the LEER topper is outstanding and the color match perfect.

The out the door price in Ca, with install//YAKIMA rack/Ca taxes--was $2,458

If you're not set on a color match--CRAIGS list has them all the time for $100 to $1000 bucks

Good luck

The one I had on my last truck I got off Craigslist for $100. After getting it painted and new struts total price was $350. I won't find a deal like that again
