I'll be posting pictures Thursday when I pick it up. It's having sliding window and headliner carpet installed.

Just by pure chance, called up a local camper shell place. Due to a mix up on a different order, they had this one in stock with a free carpet headliner. A.R.E. pays them a small amount to keep the shell since they goofed the order, so the dealer can sell it at a discount; it's much, much harder to sell a premade camper shell than to order one direct from the factory for a specific model pickup (color matching, sized for pickup make and model, options, etc.)

So I got a brand new A.R.E. CX camper shell with side sliding/tinted windows, and front sliding window for a 2003 Tacoma, in silver (matches my pickup perfectly) with the free headliner, AND they could still honor a $75 off coupon. Usually you get either $75 off or the headliner, but since it already came with one, I got to use the other coupon.

So I got the whole thing for only $928, that included tax and installation. I'm happy.

Is this for setting up your mobile chiropractor business?

I misread the thread's title as "awesome deal on a cow bell".

But heh, enjoy the shell.
