New SnugTop Rebel

I just had a Pyrite Mica SnugTop Rebel installed on my 2010 DC PreRunner this morning. The color matches pretty good IMO but you can notice a slight variation up close (shell is slightly darker). I was told up front that there is no 100% color match guarantee but that SnugTop will paint it as close to the factory paint as they can.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the look and quality of this shell. Here are some quick pics I took with my BlackBerry:

 

looks good!

 

Looks great and you'll love the functionality......Enjoy it!

 

looks good, nice choice

 

Now take it to the DMV and tell them you have a shell on the back. It'll save you the $80 weight fee on subsequent registrations.

If I might ask, how much did it cost?

 

Looks great, how much for everything?

 

love the look!

 

x2 it looks awesome!! and you got a snugtop even better!! i love my snugtop

 

Thanks for the replies. The cost was $1706 OTD and I'll definitely look into the DMV registration savings.

 

what is this "weight fee" you all are being harrassed with if I may ask?

 

Crap these thing are $$

 

Looks great. Love pyrite mica.

 

In California, all pickup trucks are considered commercial vehicles and as such, pay a weight fee that other vehicles do not, including SUVs. The exception is if you put a shell on the back of the truck. Then it can be registered as a standard vehicle.

The fee is based on the weight of the truck. Big trucks like Ford F-250s can run about $150 in extra fees on top of the registration cost. The weight fee for our truck is $80 per year. My registration last year was about $425 last year, including the weight fee (about $340 without it).

 

no wonder when i was stationed in sandiego there seemed to be a weird sense of envy

 

Looks great! Can't tell that the color is a little darker from the pics.

 

THAT SUCKS. I coulda paid like 150 for a two year registration. I think I paid like 200 total for all three of my vehicles.

I know that NYS registers all pickup trucks as commercial but all you have to do is tell them that it's a private truck and they'll change it...No need to put a shell on it or anything.
