    I used the VHT Wheel Paint. Picked it up at Autozone. It's the Graphite color.

    Interesting that so many of you like the grey. I still think I like it better black for some reason.

    Choose what you like - if black suits you then go for it.

    From my perspective, it's like choosing hohos and twinkies. Both are ridiculously good, but hohos are my fav :)

    I'm thinking about selling the Snugtop Shell I've been using on my truck. I don't use it all that often. It's nice to have for the times I want to use it, but most of the time it just sits. Anyone interested?

    Yarp.

    I used to break the outer chocolate off and then unroll them. :cool:

    Thanks for the Maxtrax offer again Jason. Mine should be showing up tomorrow, despite a Fedex system meltdown the day KC from Maxtrax America shipped them to me...but KC and Melissa jumped right on it in the middle of the night when the delivery timing was in jeopady.

    Dont' sell the snugtop. Keep it with the truck. I'm sure it likes to snuggle with it once and awhile.

    Do you not use the rear seats in your bed much? That's the only real benefit I see to keeping the topper. I mean, it looks cool, and is functional, but you have the cruiser if you need enclosed trunk space.

    There are definitely times when it's nice to have the topper, but its just not needed that much. So it's got me thinking if the cash from selling it would be better used on something that I get more use out of.

    I'm sure that at some point I'll wish I had the topper if I sell it.

    I've learned its better to just keep it and save the money for whatever it is your wanting! You'll regret it a year from now and be saving to get another topper!

    Could be the case. I guess I'm in no hurry but if someone were to make me a good offer on it, I'd still probably sell it.
