Default hardtop installation

Hey guys,

Im purchasing a hardtop (c-wings mugen replica)from one of the members and I was wondering how difficult it is to install one? What do I have to do? Does anybody wanna help me put it on so i can take it home tonight? im willing to pay.

Thanks
Francis

You'll have to bend or grind off some metal to get the side catchers to fit. Since you're getting a mugen style, you won't have a rear defroster, so no wiring needed. Once you try to line up the 4 bolts for the side catchers, you'll see right away what metal is in your way. So break out the hammer or rotary tool and have at it. Check out handa accessories' site, they have instructions I believe.

keep all bolts loose until you put it on the car.
