Yes that's looks really nice. Did you do it or have it done? If you did it, how?

Paint your trim, can't get the middle vents out, giving me such a hard time, next the whole dash comes out

I can't believe you got the right passenger vent out WITHOUT removing the dash! That one was the biggest PITA for me. However I had to remove all of them by removing the dash parts first. They had twist locks on the backside of them.

I can't get the middle man I was doing everything to get them, we'll dash will be out soon so I can do them. So frustrated as to how the two side ones came out but not the middle

i went to a local 'sells-crappy-shiny-stuff-cheap' store and bought a $5 lace netting household fly screen/door cover. i put a few holes in it where my trektop screws on and few across the front where the the top latches and then used my tarp hole protector riveter to fix the holes. a couple of tent poles later, 4 zip ties and 3 old clip things and that's it, one netting roof.

it also works with the trektop on, which was the idea.

ok i'll admit over 60-70mph and it bellows up a little, but its far too light to do any damage... (famous last words...)
