Wow, thats a good deal! I had to pay $65 for my new one (and its not as nice as my old one)... but it was the only junkyard in the area that had one. Oh well, it works and its still a lot cheaper than buying one new.

I went and looked at the grey one off the 02, it was more like charcoal metallic gray. It was in pristine condition but the lift struts were shot and they didnt have keys for the locks, and the clamps he had were actually toggle bolts.
After seeing that one I went and looked at the white one, she had the the clamps, 2 keys and it was in great condition although it is in desperate need of wax. She was a single mom in need of the cash and she has a spotless 93 she took the topper off of to sell. I decided to do the right thing and buy the white one from her as she seemed to need the money and the guy that had the charcoal grey one didnt really seem to care if he sold it or not.
Just to be clear, both toppers were the same price, and to be honest I would have prefered the one that didnt bump up in height, but for no reason I can really explain I felt compelled to buy the other one.

Here are a few pics of mine. This one was made for a '95. You can see the slight difference in fit between this one and 95 318LT's. Like he said it's only about a 1/2" overlap.

Oops! Let me clear out some of my attachments and I will post the pics later.
