OK so I'm getting a hardtop instead of replacing my softtop that got slashed. I will be stripping the entire softtop so I'll have some custom mounts made to bolt the HT on. The OEM comes with all of this stuff that I don't need and wouldn't mind not paying for. I would like to find a used top that I can get immediately. Does anybody have an oem they want to upgrade to CF and want to keep the hardware?

Thanks!!

 

I have a Mugen top and the quality is top notch. I would say it is comparable to the OEM in the fit and finish department. The nice thing about the OEM is the large back window with defrost. The only thing that annoys me about having the HT on, OEM or aftermarket, is the latches for the softop tend to rattle ( probably just fix with some adhesive backed foam) The finish for the Mugen is nice (black Gel coat on the underside) I am having it covered with UltraSuede for a cleaner look though) The only other item that may bug you is that during a warmer day the top creaks a bit. I assume it is becasue of expansion from the heat, but it isn't enough to bother me. Hope that helps

 

^Thanks for the feedback. How are the blindspots out the back window? I'm going to be using this for 95% track duty and visibility is a potential problem. Is it comparable to the stock softtop glass?

 

This might help if you can still get it seperatly.

(69100-S2A-900ZZ) PANEL, HARDTOP 1 2002 S2000 $1999.86

Try that part number with Honda and see what they can get for you.

 

Visibility is waaaaay better than with the soft top up.

Love mine!

Ro Ja Boy in Vegas had a black Mugen fiberglass top for sale not to long ago. I think he decided to keep it, but if you throw him an offer he might accept it. It's also a good excuse to make a trip out to Vegas too.

 

I've decided I want to go with a OEM top. Checking to see if there are any available locally. Let me know!!

 

I just bought my oem top this weekend.. and man its nice to have that back window.. I am thinking about getting a CF one now.. how much do oem tops go for??

 

^Did you get the one from Sinji? I was going to pick it up from him but couldn't get over there to get it. Full hardware they have been going in the $2000-2200 range.
