A.R.E. Z series topper (Would you be satisfied?)

Well, after going to have this installed the first time, I had to have it sent back because the color match was not even close, they sent it back with my gas cover.
Three weeks later it is back, I go in and they put the topper and my gas cover back on, well the topper is still not a perfect match. What really bums me out though is the fact that they obviously had to remove all the hardware off the topper to repaint it, but when they reassembled it they over tightened almost all the screws to wear it has torn and distorted the aluminum window frames. It looks like CRAP, and that is what I told them in their website where you can "submit" things. I did that on Wednesday, May 25th and have not heard anything yet. I am not one to Bi_ch about stuff, but paying almost 2k for this I expected better quality.
Here are some pics.

Wow, the color looks way off and they butchered the hardware. I would be sending it back. I have a silver truck and they matched the paint perfectly on my ARE Z shell.

Thing is, I have had to drive to work twice and pay parking $14, plus gas, had to leave work early, it is costing me each time. Without my gas cover for 3 weeks, people ask if it fell off? I would just prefer they refund part of my purchase price as I shouldn't be paying top dollar for low quality work.
I appreciate the sympathy from you guys though!!!

Hey Bestatchess,

Do you have the utility track and did they use that to fasten yours down?
Mine they did on the edges, not using the track and not using where it looks like the CAP is reinforced for the clamps.

Clamps engage front & rear ends of tracks:

I have the Leer 100XQ canopy and the paint match (Radiant Silver) is perfect. The overall quality, fit an finish of the canopy is excellent.

Burn In

Paint has to age about a month, before it reaches it's final hue. But I am going to have to agreed with your assessment that it is not even close.

I love my ARE Z series. It is white and white is hard to #### up.
Great fit, well insulated, and strong.
