White top - black Molle panels? I think that would be sweet.

Can’t wait to get mine later this summer if the schedule holds. The current progress looks promising. Thanks for the update on the regarding the gullwing on the square back.Recent pics of the Square back. Note that after a several of us mentioned the square gull window shape didn’t match the site rendering, and would look better if the back edge matched the rear slant like the rendering, they are going to make that change. With their Slant Back, the back edge of the gull window also matches the slant of the back.
Yes, I did the interior sound deadening as well. Since I have a Badlands, I did black with orange stripes in the diamond pattern.
It's what they have been showing with it being all black.
I agree. That is my thought. With the black bits I have, especially my DV8 carrier, it will match up well. I do have another plan in progress as well........ let's see who can flush it out or has similar thoughts.
Armadillo has posted the Square back redesign. Now the GullWings follow the same angle as the square back. Looks better for sure, but I am still about that slant back life!

Not yet. My guess it will be sometime in July.
As I posted before, they contacted me about my order and if I wanted changes now was the time. I made the changes I wanted, so now it's just wait for the email
UPDATE:
So in a post on their SM Fabion said they are in full production and intend to start shipping out towards the End of July. Oh we getting short!

Unpopular opinion, I actually think I liked the old gullwing dimensions better but I get why people wanted the change and am glad they listen to their customers. But team slant for sure.

I don’t know why you would want an ADV top over this. This is wayyyy better

More of the latest Square back pics, with the gull slant updated. I’m really digging it… Glad they listened to the customers and stayed true to their original concept.

How watertight is the roof. The hinged areas are my concern for constant rain fall in the Pacific Northwest.

Just as the water tight (if not better) than the OEM top. They’ve taken it through car washes and torrential Texas down pours with no problems. One of the reasons the top has been delayed is because they really wanted to make sure it was squared away with water, and from what I’ve witnessed it is
Second on @TheLawnDart statement. The latches are also adjustable, so that helps with the seal. The one video when they were caught in that storm and had to put the top on showed the difference. Inside the vehicle was sound and quiet, and there were no leaks. When they opened the door, you could really hear how the storm was raging.
So sound deadning and no leaks. Win. Win.

Those that have already ordered, what are you hearing as far as delivery dates? I'm about to pull the trigger on the SquareBack and have been talking to Fabian... It looks like 12-16 week lead time if I order now. He did mention they just got in the new laser welder, which should help speed things up though...

Central Texas gets crazy rain with high winds. I use to laugh when I stayed in Seattle (Burien summer) and San Fran and folks be like, it's raining so hard! Look out the window. Where? It's just a mist and wet ground. Yeah, it's really coming down! (This is a convo I had in both places.)
We called 'em gullywashers, which apparently is a southern thing.
