    Yeah some people's taste is just terrible. I've noticed that the people that buy this type of stuff are usually a bit off too. Which makes sense I guess.

    Well you know what I mean... with similar down angle on the back, something that gets away from the typical square-ish lines that EVERYONE has...

    The key is to get just the right balance of functionality AND aesthetics. I can see where ARB was going with this design, I just think they really missed the mark on this one.

    Does anyone make a canopy like this but better designed?

    The "gull-wing" of canopies?

    You'd pay at least 100K for a car that did that... so really, if you think about it, that's quite the deal! It's all a matter of perspective...:rolleyes:
