Well there's the dealer, as you're not simply looking for a hard top, but a painted and matching one, Craigslist, or the forum's Member's Marketplace for starters.

And there's always chasing JL car carriers entering low clearance tunnels ; - )

Wow, some truck driver is in trouble! So, (again I'm brand new), if I wanted a black 3 piece top where would I get it? I was told by my salesman that it is cheaper to buy the hard tops after market not from the dealer. Are there reputable places like quadratec or other businesses?

And to clarify, if I want the red, do I have to go through a dealer? Are there any reputable companies that sell? Or is it only dealer and people selling their own?

right now on the member section there is like 2 or 3 hardtops forsale just look there. if you order new one order it from your dealership it will be the same price as a 3rd party website. and unlike the website you will not need a forklift or a commercial drop off place. you just go there and have them put it on so you can drive away. hardtop only come by freight truck not UPS and they will not deliver to a residential house.

Your dealer just wanted to sell you something off the lot, the cheapest option by far is to order with the dual top option from the factory. Especially if you’re looking for a body colored hardtop. Also, you will need more than just the hardtop if you want the rear wiper to be functional.

quardratec sells the hard tops. but i do not know how the fit and quality is, most likely it will be black. if you want it color match, just go to a good body shop and have it painted. it would cost about the same from the dealer.

your best bet is to look in the marketplace on this forum and see if any members are selling their hardtop. even its the wrong color a body shop can paint it. this would be cheaper and you know that the top fits.

just remember that best top is another good brand to check out. and they been around longer and their stuff is better quality than quadratec.
