Jack,
I think the dealer (in carlsbad ) wanted around $750-$800 for the tonneau,
but he cut me a deal (as long as I picked up the 10/100 warranty)... No
carpet underneath, just white gelcoat. I use a rubber bed mat in my truck
(no carpet kit or bedliner)... so far I havnt scratched it up too bad... I
dont have any experience with the competing tonneaus (my last truck had a
plywood bedliner and no cover...) but in my ignorance I am happy with the
Mopar! It looks kinda hot roddish as opposed to utility like, which is what
I was shooting for!

Subject: DML: RE: Mopar Tonneau Attn: Bruce B
Bruce, I think i've decided to go with the Mopar Tonneau, just had a
couple final questions.. If you dont mind me asking, what did you pay?
(cover + installation, unless you installed it yourself) And, I believe
I had previously read you are in the San Diego area, Im in Ventura
county, and I'm lookin for a truck accessory shop in so cal where I can
get a really nice carpet kit to put underneath, for approx $350 or
less...... I've looked into Trader's in Whittier, but they seem to be
mighty expensive, so maybe you can guide me.
Oh Ya, are the Mopar tonneau's carpeted underneath?
Thank for the help
