ARE Z2 Truck Cap

[TSchevy]

Finally got my bed capped. Took me a long time to decide it’s what I wanted…then took a while to get it in from ARE.  I went with the Z2, as it seemed to be their most reliable, well liked cap, and it had all the features I wanted.  Roof rails, dual interior LED strip lights, a smaller dome light, fold down interior window, integrated keyless entry.  I opted to skip the side vented windows, figuring I would forget them more than I’d use them.

What's the back and inside look like?

What does the term "dual interior" mean?

TIA

This looks great! How does the ARE line up with the roof of the cab? I put a Range Rider on mine and it matches up with the height of the 3rd brake light on the cab (it drops down there a bit) and it's always looked like an awkward fit. I cheaped out a bit and learned my lesson with the poor fitment and garbage paint on the RR. It's a work/camping truck so it's fine, but the next time I buy a cap, I'll shop around and be open to spending more $$.

It lines up pretty good to me. There is a slight height difference do to the curvature of the cab.  Paint color came out great. I was worried with my truck being 3 years old, but it matches up nicely. But I have babied this thing since it left the dealer.  
 

These things are expensive!  You used to be able to go look before you buy, but those days are long past. It took 16 weeks to get this one in…. Pictures sometimes do it justice, but other times not.  I rolled the dice, trusted my gut, very happy with it.
