If you have an upoholstery shop that specializes in marine covers or auto upholstery shop nearby, you may be able to have one made and custom fitted for less than $750 I would imagine. You may want to give that venue a try. If you have a roll bar, this is especailly important for a good fit.

The only thing you want to be aware of is that the tonneau cover snap attachments are typically metal which over time will raise some wear issues on your paint in the pin area. You may want to discuss this with the folks at the upholstery fabricators. Mine were crafted with just the hole for the tonneau pins to enter. The leather protectes the paint surface.

Cheers.
