Undercover is one of the best quality products you can buy. Ive worked with these guys for the past 2 years for SEMA and after spending a lot of time around them I can honestly say that quality and customer service is their top priority. I would not pass up any cover made by them for another.

well its on and so far i like how it looks in the rear view mirror lol! it seems to be a very nice product and at the shop i was able to compare that and the F1 mini display's and as far as durability they seem the exact same. the UC has to bars to holds it in the air at the fully open position vs F1 has props that push it against the cab....for me that is a deal breaker alone, if i would have gotten the F1 i would NEVER allow it to be pushed against the cab that design is dumb unless for some reason you want your paint rubbed off! if you have it 2/3's of the way open it has straps with clips that hold the front down along with a metal rod on a hinge system with a handle on it vs the F1 is another cable like the first 2 panels. Other than that they are the same, if the logos were off and they were in the fully closed position you couldnt pick them apart.

NOW FOR THE BAD. when you have it in the full open position on the video's it looks as if the panels standing up are lower than the cab slightly so you dont have a sail catching wind driving down the road....well that observation is incorrect! the topper sits ever so slightly higher than the cab. its not much and it is the same on both toppers only the UC isnt sitting against the bed. ill post pics tomorrow when its day light. the guy at the shop also told me the customer service is much better with UC and informed me the flex was just released in December. he also stated since he got the UC he has not sold any F1's. why would he when you get a better designed product and save $250+???
