    Snug-Top cap, Kicker KS speaker upgrade
    I bought this Snug-Top cap for $300 and I’ve decided to have it color matched to my Tacoma. One place quoted me $1500 but Maaco quoted $500 so they won my business.
    I wasn’t convinced that much attention to detail would be had for $500 so I did some prep work myself to help ensure a decent result. I removed all of the windows, did a thorough cleaning and masked the brake light.
    Fingers crossed…

    Got it back yesterday and they did a really good job! The paint isn’t a 100% color match (very slight blue tint) but it’s close enough.IMG_1295.jpg IMG_1293.jpg

    That’s a better paint match than a lot of toppers that come from the factory
