    Anybody on here have an Aluminum Canopy?
    I'm actually considering this one (cab high):

    http://www.superhawkcanopies.com/superhawk.html

    Weight is about 125 pounds. How does that compare to a fiberglass one?
    It is much stronger than fiberglass and can hold more cargo on the roof.
    I'm planning on getting the rack over the canopy and mounting a RTT.
    Stuff like windoors, headliner, brake light and interior light are options I am adding as well.

    I got an estimate from SnugTop and Leer dealerships and they quoted me almost double of what this aluminum one would cost with all the same options.

    So what are some of the pros and cons in going with Aluminum?

    One complaint I have about the Alu ones is that they look ugly and cheap.

    This looks like someone made it themselves:
