| For anyone that has the EMP aluminum top......any complaints? I am sick of the Polaris sport roof and am looking to upgrage. Looking hard at the one from EMP, but I don't want the Cooter Brown one because I want to have it silver. | |

| I would think the aluminum one would get damaged when it bounces off a tree. I haven't ridin the RZR much yet on trails so maybe there isnt a lot of tree bouncing going on. I know when I had the Ranger, my Polaris plastic roof was very forgiving bouncing off of trees and it held up great! | |

Mainly I just want a roof that will offer some side coverage, but mostly I am trying to rig some sort of fabric/vinyl enclosure and I need a roof that has a "side" edge to it. That way I can get some snaps or velcro to adhere the enclosure to. | |

| I actually like the looks of the Cooter Brown top a little better, but I want to try and make the roof silver because I have the Pro Armor aluminum doors and I am getting ready to paint my cage silver. | |

| That Cooter Brown top looks pretty sturdy, maybe you can call them and ask if it would take paint.. | |

The only complaint I have is the texture is not smooth and it's hard to get stickers to stick | |

| L T when you get that top and install it let me know how it looks and fits on your chopped cage. When I chopped mine I had to widen out the back of the cage to get it to line back up. I was just wondering if it would fit back. | |

| It may require some trimming, but it has to fit. the "S" bars line up with the factory holes, so there is no change there. | |

| i think it will fit better with the chop cage. because chopping it pulls the front bars back someso it should fit fine. |

| My s bars line up fine but it is a little wider at the very top bend. Bush does the top fit close at the back bend. | |

| the top is very tight fit. IMO it needs to be just an hair longer and a hair wider. |
