    Yeah but really only 1 topper for the Tacoma. It's kind of implied around these parts when someone says bestop.

    OP check street side auto they normally have it at a good price that is where I have bought both of mine.

    SteetsideAuto is bad mmmkay. They shipped US jobs over to India of all places. On top of that, they are at $704. Where the non-group price from me is $534 plus shipping (About $50).

    I really wanted to support you Scott and make the group buy successful but I am happy I purchased from Street Side for three reasons.

    1. I understand how competitive you vendors are at making sales but to flat out call a company "bad" because they beat your prices is very rude. Not cool IMHO. I attached a picture to show that I was able to get the price to $468 w/ free shipping in literally 30 seconds.

    2. Do you have proof that they ship US jobs to India? I'm as American (SSgt in the Air Force) as the next guy but I can't just take a man's word on accusations like that so using my super secret squirrel technology I was able to find out that StreetSideAuto HQ is @ Kansas City, KS w/ a warehouse and another warehouse in PA. Unless you know a Kansas City in China, that doesn't count as overseas. Today KC had a heavy snowfall causing many business' to close, SSA's website currently says:

    "Due to inclement weather our phone room is closed today! Sorry for the inconvenience..." etc.

    I've lived in overseas Asia and rain, snow or apocalypse you know overseas workers never get a day off so we can go ahead and say that StreetSideAuto appears to be quite American (we love our snow days)

    3. I'm not made of money, been deployed more than I'd have liked to and yet I never seem to have enough of it. So when someone offers me a product for say $534 + shipping costs and someone else offers me the same product for $468 w/ free shipping. I will 9/10 buy from the cheaper company unless everyone and their mother says that they are garbage.

    Hope this helps clarify everything.

    X2 both of mine were under $500 for my 2nd gen Tacoma, and my 92 Toyota pick up from street side auto. This was years ago and I had promo codes from bestop I believe.

    The price I posted was what shows on their site at the moment for the product. I did not add it to the cart or play with any of their discount codes.

    Now for the fun stuff ..

    I worked for a company called Keystone Automotive Operations (KAO) for almost 10 years. KAO is based in Exeter, PA. A company by the name of ArrowSpeed from KC, Kansas owned and operated the StreetsideAuto (SSA) website. KAO purchased Arrowspeed and the SSA site several years ago during the "economic bomb". The sales force was told to deny all connections between the website and KAO when asked by the wholesale customers because it was competing against their customer base. To this day they still resist honestly answering the ownership question.

    The current CEO, Edward Orzetti, a Westpoint graduate BTW, has ruined and is still ruining what was a great company. He, and his selected management "team" has been removing all of the veteran sales and office teams, many who have over 20 years with Keystone, in favor of fresh meat that he can pay half the salary.

    Facts:
    1. Enter this address on Google Maps, "90 Shawnee Ave, Kansas City, KS"
    The large building on the right is the KC warehouse for KAO. The smaller attached building to the left was the former ArrowSpeed warehouse. The "bridge" between them was added after the purchase.
    2. Keystone Automotive subsidiaries from US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) data. SEC.GOV
