Buying a Hardtop for 99 Jeep

I am contemplating buying a hardtop for my soft top 99 Wrangler. Does anyone have any experience in such? Does is really make for a quieter ride? Any suggestions on where I should go to buy? I have a tan top now. I'm really afraid that if I buy one it won't match the interior (a little less concerned about that, actually) or the tan spare tire cover. As you can see I'm really apprehensive. Let me know. Thanks.

My 2001 Sport came with a hard top. The ride is definately quieter. Another thing to consider is that U-Haul won't rent a trailer to a jeep unless it has a hard top. I found that out a couple years ago. I guess it's the aerodynamics. The gas milage is slightly better with the hard top. My top has tinted windows, rear defrost and rear wiper. All are useful. The only drawback I have for mine is storage when I'm toppless or using my soft top. I don't have a garage, but for someone who does, there is a hoist system that can store it on the celing. Just some things to consider.
