    None so far..
    I'm leasing a 2015 AC in Super white, with the flat black fenders, and front/rear bumpers.

    On a tight budget, and finally found a cap for a great price..

    Problem is, it's Forest Green...

    I don't think I can afford to have it stripped and re-painted ( Might as well buy a new one then )

    Anybody have any pics to see how a forest green topper would look on a super white???

    Like I said, the price is right, but I don't wanna be the laughing stock cruizin down in the two tone topper..

    THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE..

    You'd probably hate it even if it didn't look awful because it still won't look how you want it to.

    I would pass.

    I've been on a crazy hunt for a short bed pyrite mica shell trying to save by buying used...and it's hard.

    I've learned that black or white tops come in second to ease of finding behind MGM and the fact that you're a long bed makes it that much easier.

    All that being said, I'd wait for a white one or at least a black one to match your trim. :notsure:

    Another thought would be to grab the green shell then buy some white or black vinyl wrap and wrap it yourself for ~$100.

    Thanks for the tips everyone!!!
    I think I'm gonna pass... Dang!! I hate to since it's a great deal, but just will look tacky I'm thinkin..

    From what I'm seein, 99% of the Tacomas out there are DOUBLE CAB/SHORT BED versions, and the used cap market is heavy with the short bed stuff.
    My thinking was I could actually SLEEP prone in the 6 foot bed, and the 5.5. was just a little bigger than a trunk...
    Still, it seems that is the popular version..

    Ok, back on the hunt for either a BLACK OR WHITE topper for a LONG BED Access Cab bed... UGHHHHH
