Hilo vs Skyline - Pics please?

[Keaney]

So i'm torn between the preferred super sleek Hilo and the cheaper and more commonly available Skyline roof.

Trying to understand the pros and cons and yeah the Hilo is more expensive but i do like the minimal look it has, however i've been warned it does decrease head room quite a bit on the inside and theres a big bolt in the front too.
Also that its a lot heavier than the skyline roof and on a lowered van can make it top heavy on corners.

Can anyone please share their advice on the Hilo roof and pics of the headroom... i'm 5ft 8 so don't think it will be too big a problem but do want a RIB bed in the back which again might be a issue with head height.

If anyone has similar pics of the skyline it would be great

Does anyone have a Hilo roof near Newcastle at all that i can come look at?

Thread currently a thread called "pop roof, which one?" And it's very informative. I've learnt loads tonight as like you I'm working out where to best spend my hard earned cash. Only want to cut one hole.

I've never heard a bad word about Skyline roofs, I looked at them seriously a couple of months ago. The only thing that put me off was that little bit of rubber used as a windbreak at the front and the distance to the fitter
